I have some square pieces of sheet metal that I bought at a FLAPS, they seem to be galvanized (shiny and don't rust). I've formed one into an angle and was going to weld it into my long for some rust repairs, but I believe I've read that welding galvanized steel isn't good. Couldn't find anything with the search feature though. Anyway, does anyone have any information about welding galvanized? Is it not as strong as un-galvanized? The non-rusting nature of the stuff certainly seems to be a big benefit.
I've practiced welded with the stuff and I've made some strong (but ugly) welds. -Chris |
