galvanized steel
Rust-resistant metal sheets
Galvanized steel is steel coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion.
The coating is typically applied by dipping the steel in molten zinc (hot-dip galvanizing) or through electroplating.
The silvery-gray finish weathers to a dull gray over time.
Common in outdoor applications: galvanized steel fencing, galvanized pipes, galvanized roofing.
