About the material
Galvanized steel is carbon steel that has been passed through a bath of molten zinc, leaving a metallurgically bonded coating on both faces. The zinc protects the steel two ways: it seals the surface, and where the surface is cut or scratched it corrodes in place of the steel underneath.
Coating thickness is what determines service life, and it is specified by weight rather than by dimension — G60, G90 and G100 in the ASTM designations. Heavier coatings go outdoors and to the coast; lighter coatings go to interior and concealed work.
The material forms, roll-forms, punches and welds without special handling, and takes paint once the surface is prepared. It is the default substrate for prepainted steel for the same reason.
