Iron pipes are often coated with a layer of Zinc in order to prevent them from corrosion. This process is termed as:
- A. electroplating
- B. annealing
- C. galvanization
- D. vulcanization
Step-by-step solution
The process of coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion is specifically known as galvanization. Electroplating is a broader term, but the application of zinc is termed galvanization. Annealing is a heat treatment process, and vulcanization is for rubber, so they are incorrect.
