galvanized iron
Rust-resistant steel sheets
Galvanized iron is iron or steel coated with zinc to prevent rust.
The zinc layer sacrifices itself to corrosion, protecting the metal underneath.
Common in roofing, fencing, and outdoor structures: The old barn had a galvanized iron roof.
The coating gives the metal a distinctive mottled gray appearance.
