Zinc plating or electroplating is a process where zinc is applied by using a current of electricity. It is a thinner coating than hot dip galvanizing.
Hot-dip galvanizing is a process of applying a protective zinc coating by dipping product in bath of molten zinc. Generally applied at 830 to 870 degrees, the zinc will bond with the steel.
