_____________ is the process of coating the surface of steel with aluminium oxide, thereby imparting it increased resistance to corrosion & oxidation upto a temperature of 700°C ?

Correct answer: C. Calorising

  • A. Veneering
  • B. Galvanising
  • C. Calorising
  • D. Electroplating

Explanation

Calorising is a thermochemical treatment in which aluminium diffuses into the steel surface and forms a protective alumina film during service. This coating gives high resistance to oxidation and corrosion at elevated temperature.
