Galvanize (single)

"Galvanize (single)" refers to the process of coating a single piece of metal, typically steel or iron, with a protective layer of zinc. This galvanization prevents rust and corrosion, extending the metal’s lifespan, especially in outdoor or harsh environments. The process involves immersing the metal into molten zinc or applying a zinc coating through electrochemical methods. It’s commonly used in construction, automotive parts, and appliances to ensure durability and reduce maintenance costs. Think of it as giving the metal a durable, protective "armor" that resists damage from moisture and the elements.
