salt in the name given to the metals that react in water, so if there is salt in water and it goes through a metal pipe for example, if the metal reacts with water it is going to casue rust.

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.

What are the differences between Galvanized pipe and black steel pipes?

Answer These are different descriptions for a part. Tubular Steel describes the shape. Steel can be ordered in different sizes and shapes and material properties. Tubular Steel is one type of shape and the process for making the tube will cause the properties for that steel to be slightly different. Galvanized Steel describes a type of finish that protects the steel from corrosion. This process alters the surface of the steel that keeps it protected and thus can be used for construction where it is exposed to the elements. I'm sure you can order a steel tube that has a galvanized finish. Many chain-link fences are made from galvanized steel, including the round posts. Custermen


Can i put galvanized steel on a kitchen floor?

Galvanized steel has coatings that make it corrosion proof, and with a zink coating, it won't rust. Galvanized steel is seldom used for flooring as it would seem to conduct electrical current, not something really desireable when working with electrified kitchen appliances. Galvanized steel is normally used for water pipes, girders in buildings, etc. Stainless Steel is more common in kitches, especially commercial restaurants. As a flooring material, it would be impractible.


Will galvanized aluminum rust?
