How To Weld Galvanized Metal!

by DIY Welder

Welding galvanized metal is dangerous because zinc oxide is released into the air as the metal melts. Good ventilation is required. If the galvanized is not burned off prior to welding then a poor weld will be the result. I use an acetylene torch to burn off galvanized prior to welding and utilize a fan to blow away the zinc oxide fumes.
