zincs
Bluish-white metallic elements
Zincs is the plural of zinc, a bluish-white metallic element used in alloys and galvanizing.
In practical use, zincs often refers to zinc anodes—sacrificial metal pieces attached to boat hulls, propellers, or underwater equipment to prevent corrosion: The mechanic replaced the zincs on the outboard motor.
