You have to grind the galvanization off.
Not only is it toxic, it hurts like ---- to breath in.

stay away from the galvanization, you can weld cast to steel, its just not going to be the easiest thing for a beginning welder and it definately wont come out as strong as youd like.

You guys know how if you turn on acetalyne without oxygen, it solidifies and becomes little black particle clumps? Galvinization does the same thing only in a much more toxic form. So when you breath in galvanization, it's like breathing something solid like pieces of a tissue.

so galvanized steel is different from aluminized steel? I made my downpipe out of aluminized steel using a easy mig and it came out perfect, with no dangerous fumes
