Zinc is more easily oxidized than iron, so it is often used as a sacial metal to protect the iron from corrosion. Zinc corrodes more slowly than iron in most environments, so it can provide long-term protection for iron surfaces. When zinc corrodes, it produces a protective layer of oxide that prevents further corrosion of the underlying ...
