Zinc plating is a process of depositing a thin layer of zinc onto the surface of a metal object, typically steel or iron, to provide a protective coating. The process involves immersing the metal object in a bath of molten zinc or a solution of zinc salts. An electrical current is passed through the solution, causing the zinc to be deposited onto the surface of the object. This forms a thin, uniform layer of zinc that provides a barrier against corrosion and improves the durability of the metal.
The zinc plating process is often used in manufacturing, automotive, and construction industries to extend the life of metal components and improve their resistance to rust and corrosion.
