Materials science; Corrosion engineering
To coat a metal surface with zinc using any of various processes.
galvanneal
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
To produce a zinc-iron alloy coating on iron or steel by keeping the coating molten after hot dip galvanizing until the zinc alloys completely with the base metal.
