The manufacturing of galvanized steel sheet is done by using a process in which steel is processed to keep it safe from the effects of corrosion. It is typically beneficial to galvanize the steel in cases where it I required to resist rust.
A very thin layer of zinc is coated upon the steel to form a coating over the iron element. This coating is a result of chemical reaction over the surface. You will be surprised to know that this coating is able to last as long as forty years. The best thing about galvanized steel sheet is that it works well in extreme cold or moist conditions due to the coating on its surface. Although this coating is not thick, the galvanizing is so protective of the steel sheets beneath it, that it can bear small nicks and scratch to the zinc coating, while still protecting the steel underneath.
There are numerous things that can be done to galvanized steel, however, when welding, we must be careful. The zinc fumes created by the welding process can have a detrimental effect on one’s health. Although there is no convincing proof, there is reason to suspect it can be harmful to the environment as well.
