If you sand the galvanized coating off the steel, it should be able to be etched in mordant. The galvanizing is there to protect the metal from chemical interaction.

What is galvanized steel an alloy of?
Galvanising is the process of application of zinc coating on steel surfaces. It prevents steel surface from rusting.
What is more reactive steel galvanized steel or stainless steel?
It depends on the environments. If the two materials will be in contact with water or high humidity then you can have some corrosion on the galvanized steel.Stainless steel and galvanized steel can corrode. However, galvanized steel will corrode at a higher rate. Stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than galvanized steel, but in some circumstances it will also corrode.
What is the thermal conductivity of galvanized sheet?
Galvanized steel: 18 W/m K You can check out the resources here below
Can you store fuel in galvanized steel?
Petroleum-based fuels can be stored in galvanized steel. It is not recommended that you store water-absorbing fuels such as alcohol in steel containers for long periods.
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.
Will a magnet stick to galvanized steel?
Yes, a magnet will stick to galvanized steel. Galvanized steel is steel that has been dipped in molten zinc so it comes out with a zinc coating. (The zinc coating inhibits corrosion.) A magnetic can "reach through" this coating and stick to the steel.
Is zinc fence stronger than Galvanized fence?
Zinc is the coating on the steel that makes it galvanized.
What metal coats a galvanized nail?
In galvanized steel, a thin coating of zinc is used to protect it from rust or corrosion.
What is galvanized steel an alloy of?
Galvanising is the process of application of zinc coating on steel surfaces. It prevents steel surface from rusting.
What materials are used to make galvanized cells?
Mild steel sheet with zinc coating
Why do galvanized roofs last longer?
Galvanizing is a process of coating sheet steel with zinc. It makes the steel rust resistant, thereby prolonging it's life. That's why the galvanized roof lasts longer.
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.
Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?
Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.
Is galvanized iron homogenous or heterogeneous mixture?
Steel is galvanized by giving it a surface coating of zinc. Heterogenous mixtures have visible boundaries between the components. Homogeneous mixtures have no visible boundaries because mixing occurs at the molecular level. Galvanized steel is thus a heterogeneous mixture.
Can we replace the glass in our wood stove with galvanized steel?
The zinc coating which is using for galvanizing emits toxic gas when burned.
Is galvanized pipe ferrous or non ferrous?
Galvanization usually refers to a thin coating of zinc applied mechanically or (usually) electrolytically to steel or cast iron pipework, as a protective coating against rust. Iron and steel (an alloy of iron with carbon and other materials) are ferrous. Overall galvanized pipework is ferrous. The zinc coating is not. Similarly, any coating of paint or rubber doesn't alter the underlying ferrous nature of iron pipe.
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.
