Electric galvanising of steel
Galvanising steel. A roll of sheet steel at a galvanising station at a steel plant. Galvanisation is a process in which steel is coated with zinc to prevent corrosion. In electric galvanisation, the steel flows through a tank containing a salt and zinc solution. An electric current passes through the solution and zinc is electroplated onto the steel surface.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the process of electric galvanising of steel at a steel plant in Permsky kray, Russia. The image showcases a roll of sheet steel passing through a galvanising station, where it undergoes an essential transformation to prevent corrosion. Galvanisation involves coating the steel with zinc, and in this particular method known as electric galvanisation, the steel flows through a tank filled with a salt and zinc solution. The key element that sets electric galvanisation apart is the use of an electric current. As the steel passes through the solution, an electric current is applied which causes zinc to be electroplated onto its surface. This intricate bonding process ensures that every inch of the steel is coated evenly and effectively. The industrial setting depicted in this photograph highlights both the power and precision required for such operations. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements within the Russian metal industry. With its rich hues and detailed textures, this print from Science Photo Library not only provides insight into one aspect of modern manufacturing but also celebrates how science can protect against natural forces like corrosion. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane processes play crucial roles in our daily lives by ensuring durable structures and products we rely on are built to last.
