Are copper and zinc elements of steel?
Copper and zinc are not alloying elements for steels.
Galvanised steel conduct electricity?
Yes, galvanized steel conducts electricity. The galvanization deposits a layer of zinc, and zinc is an electrically conductive metal, just as steel is, and just as all metals are.
What has turned galvanised steel white?
Dr M KanagasabapathyAsst. Professor, Rajus CollegeAffiliated to M K University,Rajapalayam (TN) 626117Galvanized steel is, steel coated with zinc with a thickness of about 25 micron. The zinc coating is used to protect the steel from corrosion and rust formation. The zinc coating preferentially undergoing corrosion to protect steel and after the corrosion of zinc it forms a mixture of zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide. This is white in color.By,Dr M KanagasabapathyAsst. Professor, Rajus CollegeAffiliated to M K University,Rajapalayam (TN) 626117
Is copper cheaper than stainless steel?

Is zinc fence stronger than Galvanized fence?
Zinc is the coating on the steel that makes it galvanized.
What is the difference between stainless steel and zinc steel?
Stainless steel is an alloy with at least 10.5 percent chromium. Zinc steel is coated with zinc.
Is galvanized steel better than aluminum?
It really depends on the purpose, Aluminum is lighter (depending on the thickness) and will not rust (Nonferrous). However Galvanised steel is cheaper normally, as it is just a coat of zinc on steel, the only problem is that if it gets scratched enough to take away the zinc coating, then it will corrode just as fast as normal steel. Both have similar enough strength though. It mostly just depends on what you are wanting to do.

What is the difference between galvanized steel and zinc steel?
