Galvanized means coated with zinc.
Galvanizing protects steel from oxidization (rusting).

Burning off the galvanizing from steel is not safe and is not recommended for use in a barbecue. The galvanizing process typically involves zinc coating, which can release toxic fumes when heated. These fumes can be harmful to your health if inhaled. It's better to use uncoated steel or food-grade materials specifically designed for grilling.
Iron with a zinc coating. Galvanizing is the application of a zinc coating over a metal (usually steel) to inhibit corrosion. The process is simple. In this case, manufacture your part (either forge or cast the iron) and then hot dip it in molten zinc to coat it and produce your galvanized iron part.

"Galvanized" is an adjective used to describe steel which has been coated with zinc metal. Galvanized steel is quite well protected from corrosion by the zinc coating which provides the steel with both physical and chemical protection. There are currently 3 processes which are used for galvanizing steel: (1) hot dip galvanizing, (2) electrogalvanizing, and (3) thermal diffusion galvanizing.
Galvanising is the process of application of zinc coating on steel surfaces. It prevents steel surface from rusting.
Rust weakens steel by corroding it, making it more prone to breaking and deteriorating over time.

It depends on what the metal is going to be used for. A hot dip galvanized steel generally has a thicker zinc layer than an electrogalvanized steel which improves its properties against corrosion. On the other side, the thicker layer might make it inferior in an application in which space is limited.
yes. the structure of the flume is mainly steel. Steel corroding will break down and eventually give way.
