The galvanised articles are prevented from rusting even if the zinc coating is broken .why?
A galvanized substance is that which has been coated with a layer of zinc to delay corrosion.It does this by the zinc getting corroded itself,instead of the substance. The outer layer of zinc of any galvanized material, reacts with the atmospheric oxygen to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO), which is stronger than Zinc. Thus, even if the outer layer of zinc undergoes corrosion, the material is getting coated with a stronger substance (ZnO), and thus is better able to resist corrosion.

Is galvanized steel wire better for fences then non-galvanized steel wire?
There's really no such thing as a steel wire fence without galvanising. An ungalvanized steel wire fence would rust the first time it rained. Therefore you'd rather have galvanized steel or another option. Yes, galvanized steel wire is better suited for fences instead of non-galvanized steel wire. The reason for this is that the galvanizationn process coats the steel with a zinc coating, making it rust-resistant in the presence of moisture.
