The Pros and Cons of Galvanized Steel
2
What is Galvanization?

• The process of application of protective zinc
  coating to iron or steel in order to prevent them
  from rusting is called galvanization.
• Galvanization by forming a coating of zinc on the
  metals prevents any corrosive substance from
  reaching it.

The Process of Hot Dip Galvanization?

• Hot dip galvanizing is the most common method of
  galvanizing. This process includes the
  submergence of iron or steel in a molten zinc
  bath. 
•  This process acts as a barrier between the
  atmosphere and steel and even if the galvanized
  coating gets damaged and steel gets exposed to
  the atmosphere, the zinc with the help of
  galvanic corrosion protects the steel.

What Are Galvanized Steel?

• Galvanized steel is a widely used building
  project material. This steel is coated with a
  zinc oxide finish, making it superior to plain
  steel. Consider the pros and cons of building
  with galvanized steel before beginning your
  project

PROS Non-Corrosive Surface

• Galvanized steel resists corrosion, making it
  popular in marine and seawater areas, where any
  other material tends to rust and rot.It is also
  used for farm applications, and is considered
  better than aluminum for many purposes in a farm
  setting, such as livestock confinement or
  buildings with mixed building materials.
  Generally, if a building comes in contact with
  wet concrete, copper or lead then the galvanized
  steel is recommended.

PROS Sustainability and Recycling

• Many people recommend using galvanized steel as a
  framing material for residential as well as
  commercial buildings because it can be reused and
  recycled.If a building is destroyed in an
  earthquake or other natural disaster, then there
  is a great deal of construction waste that needs
  to be disposed of often ending up in a
  landfill.Galvanized steel can be easily
  salvaged and reformed into useful reusable
  products.

PROS Better Than Wood Framing?

• Galvanized steel experiences no shrinking,
  warping, twisting or deforming like wood framing.
  The framing pieces are uniform and square,
  allowing for ideal finishing work.The steel
  framed homes can stand up to hurricanes,
  earthquakes, winds, snowloads, torrential rains
  and termites without corrosion or
  breakage.There are no nail pops or squeaking
  with steel framing, since there are no nails
  used. The studs install quickly, weigh less than
  wood, and are less wasteful, and can be made to
  custom lengths, eliminating the need to cut
  frequently.

CONS Initial Cost

• The cost of galvanized steel, particularly for
  framing in residential homes, is higher than wood
  stick buildings. This can deter people for using
  galvanized steel, despite the many structural and
  safety advantages.
• Did you know Recycling of Galvanized Metals is
  possible

10
CONS Lack of Experience with Steel

• Some building code and zoning officials in
  various towns and counties may not be familiar
  with steel construction, since using galvanized
  steel as a framing material is not yet common.
  This may cause delays and questions.Carpenters
  may take some time to familiarize themselves with
  using the product, and they may need to get
  different tools to complete the construction.

CONS Dangers in Pipes

• When used in pipes, galvanized steel may leech
  lead into the water system, which can be very
  dangerous, especially to children. While the use
  of galvanized steel for other uses is gaining
  popularity, the use of steel for water moving
  purposes is fading out.
