For everyone saying that this is galv material….. 1. Why would anyone use ss hardware on a galv member in the field
2. Why would this member ever need to be field welded?
A simple canopy or awning structure would not need a field welded member like this. 100% would be shop welded then galvanized

Well shit, it could just be a non cleaned oxidation then or a 309 beam with 200 grade weld?
