Galvanized steel 
A steel that has been coated with a thin layer of zinc in order to provide better corrosion resistance. Used in garbage cans, storage tanks, underbody auto parts and more.

Gauge 
The thickness of certain steel. In high quality steel, the gauge will be consistent throughout the steel to avoid the forming of weak spots.

Grain 
The individual crystal units that make up the metal. The point where individual crystal units meet is referred to as the grain boundary.
