ʻO ka microscopically, aia kēia ʻano honeycomb i nā ʻāpana alumini me ka zinc.ʻOiai ke hāʻawi nei ka pale galvanized i ka pale anodic, ʻo ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka zinc content a me ka ʻōwili alumini e hoʻemi iki i ka electrolysis.Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi, nalo ka pale o ka pale galvanized i ka wā e ʻoki ʻia ai, e hoʻoheheʻe ai i nā kihi i ʻoki ʻia.
No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia pilikia, ʻōlelo ʻia e pale i nā kihi me ka pena a i ʻole ka zinc-rich varnish, no laila e hoʻolōʻihi i ke ola o ka papa.Mālama kēia ʻāpana pale i ke kila galvalume, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i kona ola lawelawe a mālama i kona kūpaʻa corrosion maikaʻi loa ma lalo o nā kūlana ʻino loa.
