Protective Calva mixing

Galvanizing is a process by which
metal sheets and other parts passed
through a pot Of molten zinc take on
a protective coating of that metal.
The coating must be thin enough to
permit forming into spouting. cornices,
cutters, etc., without cracking, and so
permitting corrosion to take place at
the exposed portion, and thick enough
to provide satisfactory durability
against the effect of atmospheric
gases, moisture. etc.
