Question
Explain the following methods to protect metals from corrosion:
Galvanization
Advertisements
Solution
Galvanization:
1) The rusting of iron can be prevented by coating the metal surface with another metal such as zinc, that is oxidized in preference to iron. This process is called galvanization.
2) If the zinc layer is scratched, even then it protects iron from corrosion as long as Fe and Zn are in contact. If Fe is oxidized to Fe2+, then Zn immediately reduces Fe2+ back to Fe.
