YES.

For sake of mention:   Welding galvanized steel produces toxic 
fumes.    Don't do it unless you have the right ventilation and you 
remain upwind and even then I'd be careful.   Do NOT do it indoors in 
any event.

Spot welding.   And they had ventilation.

I've seen several and they were all just stamped steel with black 
surfacer/sealer on them.   No galvanizing.
