Imibhobho enezinki eshushu-diphu yenziwa ngombhobho wentsimbi yekhabhoni kunye nokwaleka kwe-zinc. Inkqubo ibandakanya ukuhlamba iasidi umbhobho wentsimbi ukususa nayiphi na irusi okanye i-oxidation, ukuyicoca ngesisombululo se-ammonium chloride, i-zinc chloride, okanye indibaniselwano yazo zombini ngaphambi kokuntywiliselwa kwibhafu yokuntywila eshushu. Isiphumo sokugquma kwegalvanized siyafana, sincamathele kakhulu, kwaye sinokumelana nokugqwala ngenxa yendlela entsonkothileyo eyenziwa ngumzimba kunye neekhemikhali ezenzeka phakathi kwentsimbi engaphantsi kunye ne-zinc etyhidiweyo yokwaleka. I-alloy layer idibanisa kunye ne-zinc ecocekileyo kunye ne-substrate yombhobho wensimbi, enika ukuchasana okugqwesileyo kwi-corrosion.
Imibhobho ye-galvanized ye-Hot-dip isetyenziswa kakhulu kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo ezifana neendawo zokuhlala zezolimo, ukhuseleko lomlilo, ukunikezelwa kwegesi, kunye neenkqubo zokuhambisa amanzi.
