What Is Galvanized Tube Steel?
Galvanized tube steel is an alloy of iron and carbon that has been rolled into a tube shape — often round, square, or rectangular — and then coated with zinc. Steel tubing is generally galvanized in one of two ways. It can be hot dipped, or passed through molten zinc, which forms a thick protective coating, or electroplated — passed through a solution of zinc with electrical current, which results in a thinner layer of zinc adhering to the steel.
