Galvanized steel refers to carbon steel sheets coated with a protective layer of zinc through the galvanization process. This treatment significantly enhances the steel's corrosion resistance while maintaining its structural strength. 

The zinc coating acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting the base metal from rust and environmental degradation.

• Hot-dip Galvanizing:

Steel sheets are immersed in molten zinc (typically at 450°C)

Forms a thick, durable zinc-iron alloy layer

Most common method for construction materials

• Electro-galvanizing:

Uses electrical current to deposit zinc

Produces thinner, more uniform coatings

Preferred for automotive and appliance applications

• Corrosion Resistance: 5-10 times more durable than untreated steel
• Formability: Can be bent and shaped without coating damage
• Weldability: Special techniques required to preserve zinc layer
• Aesthetic Appeal: Shiny silver finish or matte gray appearance
• Cost-effectiveness: Lower maintenance than stainless steel alternatives
