Identify any two finishing treatments that may be applied to mild steel to protect against corrosion. - Leaving Cert Engineering - Question d - 2010

To protect mild steel against corrosion, the following two finishing treatments can be applied:

1. Galvanising: This process involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc, which acts as a barrier to moisture and air, preventing rust.

2. Painting: Applying a protective paint layer helps to seal the surface of the mild steel, preventing exposure to environmental factors that can lead to corrosion.
