How Electro Galvanized Steel is Made
Electro galvanized steel is made when Zinc is electroplated to steel; this process is also known as Zinc plating. Similar to galvannealed steel and galvanized steel, the Zinc provides protection against corrosion. Electro galvanized steel is also strong, as it is almost always made from cold rolled steel. It is important to note that because Zinc is electroplated to the steel the Zinc coating will be thinner than that of hot dipped steel and may not last as long in harsh environments, but is also lighter than hot dipped galvanized steel.
