You have named two very broad areas of manufacturing technology. It's rather like saying you picked birds and tropical plants for your final year biology project :-)

Zinc coating can be done by hot dip galvanizing, flame spraying, mechanical galvanizing, sherardizing, electroplating, immersion plating, dip-spin coating, painting, cladding, and maybe a few other technologies I missed. I think you should pick one of these smaller fields, then read a book on that subject, and then decide what issues you would like to address. Success with your project!
