Mbiri ya galvanizing

Mu 1836, Sorel ku France adatulutsa zodziwikiratu zoyambira zambiri zopangira zitsulo poviika mu Zinc wosungunuka atatha kuyeretsa.Anapereka njirayo ndi dzina lake 'galvanizing'.
Mbiri ya malata inayamba zaka zoposa 300 zapitazo, pamene katswiri wina wa sayansi ya zakuthambo analota chifukwa chomiza chitsulo choyera mu zinki yosungunuka ndipo anadabwa kwambiri kuona kuti chitsulo chonyezimira chinapangidwa ndi zokutira zasiliva.Imeneyi inali yoti ikhale sitepe yoyamba pa chiyambi cha ndondomeko ya malata.
Nkhani ya zinki ikugwirizana kwambiri ndi mbiri ya galvanizing;Zokongoletsera zopangidwa ndi aloyi zomwe zili ndi 80% zinc zapezeka kuti zili ndi zaka 2,500.Brass, alloy yamkuwa ndi zinki, adadziwika mpaka zaka za zana la 10 BC, ndi mkuwa waku Yudeya womwe umapezeka panthawiyi wokhala ndi zinc 23%.
Zolemba zodziwika bwino zachipatala zaku India, Charaka Samhita, zomwe zidalembedwa cha m'ma 500 BC, zimatchula chitsulo chomwe pamene oxidised chimapanga pushpanjan, chomwe chimadziwikanso kuti 'wool's wool', chomwe chimaganiziridwa kuti ndi zinc oxide.Mawuwa amafotokoza za kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwake ngati mafuta opaka m'maso komanso mabala otseguka.Zinc oxide imagwiritsidwa ntchito mpaka pano, pakhungu, mumafuta a calamine ndi mafuta ophatikizika.Kuchokera ku India, kupanga zinki kunasamukira ku China m'zaka za zana la 17 ndipo 1743 adawona makina oyamba osungunula zinki aku Europe akukhazikitsidwa ku Bristol.

Mu 1824, Sir Humphrey Davy anasonyeza kuti zitsulo ziŵiri zosafanana zikalumikizidwa ndi magetsi ndi kumizidwa m’madzi, dzimbiri lina linkafulumira pamene linalo linkatetezedwa.Kuchokera pa ntchitoyi iye adanena kuti zitsulo zamkuwa za zombo zapamadzi zamatabwa (chitsanzo choyambirira cha chitetezo cha cathodic) chikhoza kutetezedwa mwa kumangirira mbale zachitsulo kapena zinki.Pamene ziboliboli zamatabwa zidalowedwa m'malo ndi chitsulo ndi chitsulo, zinc anode anali kugwiritsidwabe ntchito.
Mu 1829 Henry Palmer wa London Dock Company anapatsidwa chilolezo cha 'mapepala opindika kapena malata', zomwe anapeza zidzakhudza kwambiri mapangidwe a mafakitale ndi malata.
