Why Galvanizing Utilizes Zinc Instead of Copper? - Tanya Galvanizer

Galvanization is the process that demands a work of hot-dip zinc coating, which forms a safety layer for steel and iron to form a durable shield from corrosive particles. Once the galvanization is done in hot-dip zinc, it creates a barrier which reacts with the atmosphere, forming a compact later of safety insoluble in water. It is all because zinc is a sacrificial anode helping the base metal to have a protection layer even when the coating is scratched.

Further, the core reason why copper is not used for galvanization is because the protective layer for the metal is less and has a high reaction rate on steel and iron. It, therefore, raises the level of damage to the materials and reduces the shelf life of metals used during the construction. Hence, the architects and the 

engineers specifically demand the metal into hot-dip galvanization in zinc, as it increases the durability of the material to a great extent with the process of accepting the climatic conditions.
