Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated with a thin layer of zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion. The zinc acts as a barrier, preventing moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal underneath. This treatment extends the lifespan of the steel, especially when used outdoors or in humid environments. The galvanization process typically involves dipping the steel into molten zinc or applying zinc-rich paint. As a result, galvanized steel is widely used in construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing where durability and weather resistance are important.
