I-Hot-dip galvanization kuyindlela ye-galvanization. Kuyinqubo yokuhlanganisa insimbi nensimbi ne-zinc, esebenza ngaphezulu kwensimbi eyisisekelo lapho iminza insimbi kubhavu lwe-zinc encibilikisiwe emazingeni okushisa angaba ngu-840 ° F (449 ° C). Lapho ivezwa emkhathini, i-zinc (i-Zn) ehlanzekile ihlangana ne-oxygen (O2) yakha i-zinc oxide (ZnO), ebuye ihlangane ne-carbon dioxide (CO2) ukuze yakhe i-zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), i-grey evamile ebuthuntu, eqinile izinto ezivikela insimbi ngaphansi ngaphansi kokugqwala okuqhubekayo ezimweni eziningi. Insimbi eklanyelwe isetshenziswa kabanzi kuzicelo lapho ukumelana nokugqwala kudingeka ngaphandle kwezindleko zensimbi engagqwali, futhi kubhekwa njengokuphakeme ngokuya ngezindleko kanye nokujikeleza kwempilo.
