Galvanizing usually refers to the coating of steel in zinc by the process of dipping the steel in a bath of molten zinc. This gives a much thicker and more corrosion resistant coating (an average around 175 g/m2) than zinc plating (15 or more microns) which uses an electrolytic process. (These figures come from the related web site linked below)

Galvanized steel will vary in density because of several variables:

- The type and therefore density of the steel

- The thickness of the zinc galvanising layer

- The proportion of steel volume to surface area available to the galvanising coating
