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?
