Hot-dip galvanization is a process in which cleaned iron or steel, usually in sheet form, is passed through a flux such as zinc-ammonium chloride and guided through a bath of molten zinc. In this method, the zinc forms a coating on the metal surface, protecting iron or steel against exposure to the atmosphere and consequent rusting.
