L'enduit riche en zinc Galvafroid est un enduit anti-corrosion applicable au pinceau ou au pistolet contenant de 92 à 95 % de zinc en pellicule sèche et qui procure une protection électrochimique aux métaux ferreux. [...] Les traitements au Galvafroid des métaux ferreux et de l'acier basent leur efficacité anti-corrosive sur l'action galvanique qui survient, sous conditions corrosives, entre le zinc et le substrat. Ce dernier est protégé même au niveau des égratignures et des points d'abrasion, puisque le zinc entourant le dommage se réactive immédiatement et sa corrosion sacrificielle protège la surface sous-jacente. Les produits de corrosion du zinc, qui sont en grande partie insolubles et imperméables, se forment rapidement afin de sceller le dommage et protéger le substrat. Le développement latéral de la corrosion est ainsi inhibé. 2, record 7, French, - action%20galvanique

Up to now, welding two different metals such as steel and aluminum has been a difficult task. Mazda tackles it by optimizing the rotating tool shape and joining characteristics, and by using galvanized steel on one side. A joining gun holds the parts from both sides, and then spins while force is applied. This generates frictional heat that subsequently joins the aluminum materials to the steel sheet metal. Galvanized steel helps prevent the galvanic corrosion that results from the contact of two different types of metal. 1, record 13, English, - joining%20gun

Le [procédé] FSW [Friction Stir Welding] s'applique aux tôles et aux plaques [...] Il est adapté à l'automatisation et, depuis peu, à la robotisation. Le principe de fonctionnement est simple: la chaleur de friction est produite par une tête de soudage cylindrique, munie d'un épaulement et d'une broche profilée, qui est mise en rotation rapide. La chaleur produite provoque un ramollissement du métal des pièces à assembler, qui passe à l'état plastique sans atteindre son point de fusion. L'outil est alors plongé entre les deux pièces et le matériau est malaxé, ou mieux encore, forgé par contact intime avec le doigt et l'épaulement de la tête rotative. 1, record 13, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20soudage%20cylindrique
