Both ferrous and nonferrous metals are subject to ____ corrosion. ✔️✔️galvanic
Explain the Galvanizing process ✔️✔️involves placing the steel to be coated into a bath of molten zinc,
which bonds to its
, surface.
zinc rusts very slow
Three common structural rolled steel shapes ✔️✔️W (wide Flange)

Stainless Steel
Difference between Ferrous and Non-Ferrous ✔️✔️Non-Ferrous Metals do not contain Iron, are not
magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.
