Galvanized steel is mild steel with a zinc surface layer. The zinc prevents rust even if the metal is scratched, however a powdery white corrosion will appear if it gets wet. The metal will turn from a shiny silver to a dull gray over time. Galvanized steel is magnetic.
Our wire is stronger than standard hardware store galvanized wire.
WARNING! Do not attempt to strip the zinc layer from galvanized steel AND DO NOT SAW CUT IT!!! Zinc fumes are very deadly. If you want mild steel buy mild steel.
