Galvanizing prevents rust on steel.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Galvanizing prevents rust on steel?

Yes. A reference encyclopedia entry defines galvanizing as coating iron and steel with zinc to prevent rusting, and a chemistry textbook explains that galvanized iron's zinc coating oxidizes before the iron, protecting it. Other items only partially address the point or are off-topic.
