hot-dip
Zinc bath process
Hot-dip describes a coating process where metal is immersed in molten zinc, tin, or other protective material: hot-dip galvanized steel.
The technique creates a durable barrier against corrosion.
As a verb, to hot-dip is to coat metal this way: They hot-dipped the fence posts to prevent rust.
