That form of electricity which is developed by the chemical
action between metals and different liquids; voltaic
electricity; also, the science which treats of this form of
electricity; -- called also galvanism, from Galvani, on
account of his experiments showing the remarkable influence
of this agent on animals. GalvanismGalvanism Gal"va*nism, 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.
Note: 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. Galvanist

1. To affect with galvanism; to subject to the action of
electrical currents.
2. To plate, as with gold, silver, etc., by means of
electricity.
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.

Vapor galvanizingVapor galvanizing Va"por gal"va*niz`ing (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[deg] F.,
which is 188[deg] 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.
