The different types of galvanizing are based on the two general methods by which the zinc coating is applied: hot dipping and electrolytic deposition. In hot-dip processes, cleaned iron or steel is passed through a flux such as zinc-ammonium chloride and guided through a bath of molten zinc. In electrolytic deposition, a pure zinc coating of controlled thickness is applied without heat.
