(i) Alloying : The metals can be alloyed to prevent the process of corrosion. Eg: Stainless Steel
(ii) Surface Coating : It involves application of a protective coating over the metal. It is of the following types:
(a) Galvanization: It is the process of coating zinc on iron sheets by using electric current.
(b) Electroplating: It is a method of coating one metal over another metal by passing electric current.
(c) Anodizing: It is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable and corrosion resistant. Aluminium is widely used for anodizing process.
(d) Cathodic Protection: It is the method of controlling corrosion of a metal surface protected is coated with the metal which is easily corrodible. The easily corrodible metal is called sacrificial metal to act as anode ensuring cathodic protection.
