Control of the zinc coating properties can be achieved through control of the
chemistry and temperature of the zinc bath. What temperature do you think
the zinc bath should be?
Room temperature-
Incorrect , at room temperature zinc is a solid. Try again.
140°C- Incorrect , at this temperature zinc is still a solid. Try again.
460°C - Correct , zinc has a melting temperature of about 420°C, a slightly higher
temperature is used for the coating bath.
750°C - Incorrect , whilst zinc is indeed molten at this temperature is it much higher
than the melting temperature therefore it is inefficient to use such a high
temperature, also the zinc will not solidify quickly after leaving the bath
resulting in a poor coating layer. Try again.
