Electrogalvanizing

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 26))

Abstract

Electrogalvanizing is a specialized area of zinc electrodeposition. Simply stated, it is the electrodeposition of zinc on a continuously moving strip or wire. The term “galvanizing” refers to the coating of iron or steel with zinc. Originally, the popular usage of “galvanizing” referred to the continuous coating of strip or wire with zinc. The primary process was passage of the strip through a molten zinc bath, specifically known as “hot-dip galvanizing.” With the advent of electrolytic deposition, the parallel term “electrogalvanizing” evolved.
