[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3005024, member: 40864"] Zinc is the reason welding galvanized pipe/etc. is so harmful. It can make you want to hurl pretty quick if you get a snoot-full of fumes (always did for me anyway). However, folks have worked at companies that make galvanized fencing for years, because the zinc melting temp is much lower. Welding temps are much higher (to melt the steel) than is necessary to melt zinc and plate with it. [/QUOTE]
