There is lots of debate about Stainless Steel and that many believe it is not a desired sacraficial lamb so to speak. Some use it without obvious problems. I would think that another no-no would be galvanized as well.
I have lots of pieces of galvanized pipe from frences that has been hanging around for a long time. Be nice to use it, but there is no way that I am going to put galvanized in an electrolysis tank, even a big one. I would be very concerned about the resultant vapours and of course the residue in the water. Thoughts?

I don't think that the galvanizing process uses any lead at all. Hot zinc is what is used. I really don't think this would be considered hazardous. But I don't know for sure.

I have always heard that galvanized contains lead.

That only what I was told. I try not to believe everything I hear.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.

Johnbron. You are right on. Zinc, cadmium, lead and beryllium are among the metals that produce poisonous gasses when welded. You must have adiquate ventilation. I believe chrome plating also produces hazardous gasses.
