galvanized metal

Zinc-dipped iron sheets

Galvanized metal is metal—usually steel or iron—coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion.

The coating is typically applied by dipping the metal in molten zinc.

Galvanized steel appears in outdoor applications where moisture resistance matters: fencing, roofing, gutters, and ductwork.
