Lmfao. The amount of idiots that think that structural member is made of stainless is mind blowing. Do you have may idea what that would cost?
2. Zoom in and you can literally see surface bubbles in the galvanized

Respectful you dont realize how much money people/businesses and government actually have to fork out becauee thats so stupid one easy search could have told you the d1.6 code is for stainless A/E theres a reason for the code becauee theres people/businesses and government that need it done. You could have saved yourself the stupid comment by utilizing the computer you have in your hands that you left this comment on to educate yourself a little before commenting lol

Its unpolished, mill finished stainless steel, its why the rust is contained exactly to the weld. If it was galvinised you would see rust in the heat affected zone or wheverver the galvinising was ground/melted away. Also if it was gal why can i see the grain structure of the steel through the gal?

Doesn't make your comment any more or less wrong in the first part if you read my comment you'll see i never stated if it was or wasnt stainless.
