By you saying "electrolysis," do you mean that it will break up water when you electrolyze it and place it inside water? |
Um, we are talking about galvanized steel, so the copper would be coming into contact with zinc. Go look up what happens when copper and zinc are in contact with each other. Can you say... "battery"?
You can perform electrolysis with many materials, not just water.

You can weld galvanized steel with no issues as long as you use proper equipment. You do not get zinc poisoning from the fumes.

Thank you MrBasse for the elaboration.
My concern was not the zinc fumes, but weld spatter. Glavanized spits out molten globs of metal a LOT more than other materials.
I did not say it couldn't be welded, just that this particular person should not try it.
I stand corrected.
