The use of galvanised steel and paints with a high concentration of zinc for car bodies

Abstract

All metals send out ions if they are immersed in water. These ions are positively charged and therefore the metal itself becomes negatively charged. The metals have different tendencies to send out ions when in contact with water and those which have a low tendency are called noble metals. Those which have a great tendency are less noble.
