| Galvanic | a. [ From Galvani, a professor of physiology at Bologna, on account of his connection (about 1780) with the discovery of dynamical or current electricity: cf. F. galvanique. ] Of or pertaining to, or exhibiting the phenomena of, galvanism; employing or producing electrical currents. [ 1913 Webster ]
Galvanic battery (Elec.), an apparatus for generating electrical currents by the mutual action of certain liquids and metals; -- now usually called voltaic battery. See Battery. --
Galvanic circuit or
Galvanic circle. (Elec.) See under Circuit. --
Galvanic pile (Elec.), the voltaic pile. See under Voltaic. [ 1913 Webster ]
|
| Galvanism | n. [ From Galvani: cf. F. galvanisme. See Galvanic. ] (Physics) (a) Electricity excited by the mutual action of certain liquids and metals; dynamical electricity. (b) The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents. [ 1913 Webster ] ☞ The words galvanism and galvanic, formerly in very general use, are now rarely employed. For the latter, voltaic, from the name of Volta, is commonly used. [ 1913 Webster ] |
| Galvanist | n. One versed in galvanism. [ 1913 Webster ] |
| Galvanization | n. The act of process of galvanizing. [ 1913 Webster ] |
| Galvanize | v. t. [ imp. & p. p. Galvanized p pr. & vb. n. Galvanizing ] [ Cf. F. galvaniser. ] 1. To affect with galvanism; to subject to the action of electrical currents. [ 1913 Webster ] 2. To plate, as with gold, silver, etc., by means of electricity. [ 1913 Webster ] 3. To restore to consciousness by galvanic action (as from a state of suspended animation); hence, to stimulate or excite to a factitious animation or activity. [ 1913 Webster ] 4. To coat, as iron, with zinc. See Galvanized iron. [ 1913 Webster ]
Galvanized iron, formerly, iron coated with zink by electrical deposition; now more commonly, iron coated with zink by plunging into a bath of melted zink, after its surface has been cleaned by friction with the aid of dilute acid. [ 1913 Webster ]

| Galvanizer | n. One who, or that which, galvanize. [ 1913 Webster ] |
| Hydrogalvanic | a. [ Hydro-, 1 + galvanic. ] Pertaining to, produced by, or consisting of, electricity evolved by the action or use of fluids; as, hydrogalvanic currents. [ R. ] [ 1913 Webster ] |
| Vapor galvanizing | . (Metal.) A process for coating metal (usually iron or steel) surfaces with zinc by exposing them to the vapor of zinc instead of, as in ordinary galvanizing, to molten zinc; -- called also Sherardizing. Vapor galvanizing is accomplished by heating the articles to be galvanized together with zinc dust in an air tight receptacle to a temperature of about 600° F., which is 188° below the melting point of zinc, or by exposing the articles to vapor from molten zinc in a separate receptacle, using hydrogen or other reducing gas to prevent oxidation.
