MST Steel: The Difference Between Galvanized Steel and Stainless Steel

According to The Piping Mart’s blog post titled “Difference Between Galvanised Steel and Stainless Steel,” when it comes to corrosion resistance, two popular options stand out: galvanized steel and stainless steel. Galvanized steel is coated with zinc oxide, forming a protective barrier against corrosion. It possesses fire and heat resistance qualities, good acoustic insulation properties, and is relatively affordable. However, exposure to moisture or salt water can lead to rust. On the other hand, stainless steel, an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, titanium, and other elements, boasts exceptional durability and resistance to both abrasion and chemical corrosion. Its higher initial cost is offset by low maintenance needs, thanks to its superior corrosion resistance properties.
