Solution
| Galvanization | Iron sheets dipped in molten zinc | Iron articles which are generally exposed to heavey moisture [Iron articles which are generally exposed to heavy protects iron] [Zinc is more active than iron and forms zinc iron and hence readily than iron and hence protects iron.] |
| Tinning | Iron sheets dipped in molten tin. | Iron articles generally for edible applications Tinned boxes for vegetables, meat etc. [Tinning is preferred to galvanization for articles used for edible applications. Galvanised steel is not used for food containers since food acids dissolve zinc forming poisonous compounds.] |
| chrome plating | Iron articles electroplated with- chromium, nickel, ttin, copper, etc. | Iron articles generally- for decorative purposes, Jewellery, Cutlery, Motor-parts [Chromeplating - on a metal object can be decorative, corrosion resistant and improves surface hardness. Method is however costly and used exclusively.] |
