Welding to galvanized steel
Welding to galvanized steel
(OP)
How galvanization is going to be affected by welding. I am aware that galvanization needs to be removed before welding, and then it can be restored - what is the lifetime of restored area? Has anybody have any experience with welding Nelson studs to galvanized beams?

Typically the explosive nature of stud welding removes enough zinc to produce a good weld. Increase the weld time and/or amperage may be required.
If you have to make a repair use SMAW and 6010 electrode. (The rutile flusx improves the weld.)
