Process for rendering iron rust-proof, by plunging it into molten zinc (the dipping method), or by electroplating it with zinc.

The word, derived from the name of the pioneer of electrical studies, Luigi Galvani, originally referred to electrodeposition with any metal.

The colours are derived from the state coat of arms of 1364. The Scandinavian cross is taken from the Danish flag. Effective date: 22 June 1906. >>
