Electrogalvanization
Okay kiddo, so you know how metal objects can rust and become all orange and flaky? That's not good, right? Electrogalvanization is a way to protect metal from that rusting.
How does it work? Well, first we need to clean the metal really well. We don't want any dirt or oil on it. Then, we dip it in a special liquid that has tiny pieces of another metal in it called zinc. The zinc sticks to the metal and makes a little layer over it.
But wait, there's more! We don't just dip the metal in the liquid and let it dry. That's not enough to make a strong layer. We need to hook up some fancy machines called electrodes. These electrodes can send a little bit of electricity into the liquid.
Now, remember how we said the zinc sticks to the metal? With the electricity, it sticks even better! The zinc forms a strong bond with the metal and makes a solid layer that won't come off easily.
And that's it, kiddo! Electrogalvanization is just putting a little layer of zinc on metal to protect it from rust. It's like putting sunscreen on your skin to protect it from the sun.
