Umlando we-galvanizing

Ngo-1836, i-Sorel yaseFrance yakhipha ilungelo lobunikazi lokuqala kwabaningi benqubo yokuhlanganisa insimbi ngokuyicwilisa kuZinc encibilikisiwe ngemva kokuyihlanza kuqala.Unikeze inqubo ngegama layo elithi 'galvanizing'.
Umlando wokwenza uthayela uqala eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-300 edlule, lapho isazi samakhemikhali e-alchemist-come-chemist siphupha isizathu sokucwilisa insimbi ehlanzekile ku-zinc encibilikisiwe futhi wamangala lapho ethola isiliva elicwebezelayo elimbozwe ngensimbi.Lokhu kwakuzoba isinyathelo sokuqala ekuqalisweni kwenqubo yokufaka ama-galvanizing.
Indaba ye-zinc ixhumene kakhulu naleyo yomlando wokugalela;Imihlobiso eyenziwe ngama-alloys aqukethe i-80% ye-zinc itholwe isukela emuva eminyakeni eyi-2,500.Ithusi, i-alloy yethusi kanye ne-zinc, ilandelelwe okungenani ngekhulu le-10 BC, nethusi laseJudiya elitholakala kulesi sikhathi esiqukethe u-23% we-zinc.
Umbhalo wezokwelapha waseNdiya odumile, u-Charaka Samhita, owabhalwa cishe ngo-500 BC, ukhuluma ngensimbi okwathi lapho i-oxidised ikhiqiza i-pushpanjan, eyaziwa nangokuthi 'uboya befilosofi', okucatshangwa ukuthi i-zinc oxide.Umbhalo uchaza ukusetshenziswa kwawo njengamafutha okugcoba amehlo kanye nokwelapha amanxeba avulekile.I-Zinc oxide isetshenziswa kuze kube yilolu suku, ezimweni zesikhumba, kuma-calamine okhilimu namafutha okugcoba amagciwane.Ukusuka eNdiya, ukwenziwa kwe-zinc kwathuthela eChina ngekhulu le-17 kwathi ngo-1743 kwasungulwa umshini wokuncibilikisa we-zinc wokuqala wase-Europe eBristol.

Ngo-1824, uSir Humphrey Davy wabonisa ukuthi lapho izinsimbi ezimbili ezingafani zixhunywa ngogesi futhi zicwiliswa emanzini, ukugqwala kwenye kwakushesha kuyilapho enye ithola isivikelo esithile.Kusukela kulo msebenzi wasikisela ukuthi izinqe zethusi zemikhumbi yemikhumbi yemikhumbi yamapulangwe (isibonelo sokuqala sokuvikela okusebenzayo kwe-cathodic) zingavikelwa ngokunamathisela izingcwecwe zensimbi noma ze-zinc kuzo.Lapho izindonga zamapulangwe zedlula insimbi nensimbi, kwakusasetshenziswa i-zinc anode.
Ngo-1829 u-Henry Palmer we-London Dock Company wanikwa ilungelo lobunikazi 'lamashidi ensimbi anama-indented noma amathayela', ukutholakala kwakhe kwakuyoba nomthelela omkhulu ekwakhiweni kwezimboni kanye nokufaka uthayela.
