Methods of preventing corrosion:
 
(i). Alloying:
 
Metals can be alloyed to prevent the corrosion process.
Example:
Stainless Steel
(ii). Surface coating:

Surface coating process
  
Surface coating involves the application of a protective layer over the metal. It is classified as follows.
  
(a). Galvanization:
  
Galvanization is a method of coating zinc on iron sheets by using an electric current.

(c). Anodizing:
  
Anodizing is an electrochemical method that turns the metal surface into decorative, durable and corrosion-resistant. Aluminium is widely used for the anodizing process.

(d). Cathodic protection:
  
Cathodic protection is a process of controlling corrosion of a protected metal surface coated with easily corrodible metal. The easily corrodible metal is called sacrificial metal, which acts as an anode, ensuring cathodic protection.
