Galvanising

 Zinc coatings provide sacrificial corrosion protection. There are generally two types of Galvanising:
Class A: Has the heaviest weight of zinc coating thus the wire looses some of its physical properties.
Class B: Has a lighter zinc weight than Class A and still retains the full physical properties of ungalvanised* wire.

*Ungalvanised – also referred to as bright or black or self-colour.
