Imbali yokugalela

Ngo-1836, i-Sorel yaseFransi yakhupha i-patent yokuqala kwi-patent eninzi yenkqubo yokugquma intsimbi ngokuyifaka kwi-Zinc etyhidiweyo emva kokuyicoca okokuqala.Unike inkqubo enegama layo elithi 'galvanizing'.
Imbali yokwenziwa kwezitshizi yaqala ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-300 eyadlulayo, xa ingcali yealchemist-come-chemist yaphupha isizathu sokuntywilisela intsimbi ecocekileyo kwi-zinc etyhidiweyo yaye okwammangalisayo kukuba, kwavela umgquba wesilivere omenyezelayo phezu kwentsimbi.Eli yayiza kuba linyathelo lokuqala kwi-genesis yenkqubo yokugalela amazimba.
Ibali le-zinc linxibelelene ngokusondeleyo nelo lembali yokugalela;Imihlobiso eyenziwe kwi-alloys equkethe i-80% ye-zinc ifunyenwe ukuthandana malunga ne-2,500 iminyaka.I-Brass, i-alloy yobhedu kunye ne-zinc, iye yalandelwa ubuncinane kwi-10 yenkulungwane ye-BC, kunye nobhedu lwaseJudiya olufunyenwe ngeli xesha liqulethe i-23% ye-zinc.
Umbhalo odumileyo wezonyango waseIndiya, uCharaka Samhita, owabhalwa malunga nowama-500 BC, ukhankanya isinyithi esathi xa i-oxidised ivelisa i-pushpanjan, eyaziwa ngokuba 'buboya befilosofi', ekucingelwa ukuba yizinc oxide.Isicatshulwa sichaza ukusetyenziswa kwayo njenge-ointment yamehlo kunye nonyango lwamanxeba avulekileyo.I-Zinc oxide isetyenziselwa namhlanje, kwiimeko zesikhumba, kwi-calamine creams kunye ne-antiseptic ointments.Ukusuka eIndiya, ukwenziwa kwe-zinc kwasiwa eTshayina ngenkulungwane ye-17 kwaye ngo-1743 yabona isinyibilikisi sokuqala se-zinc saseYurophu sisekwa eBristol.

Ngowe-1824, uMhlekazi uHumphrey Davy wabonisa ukuba xa iintsimbi ezimbini ezingafaniyo zadityaniswa ngombane zaza zantywiliselwa emanzini, umhlwa kwenye wawukhawuleza ngakumbi ngoxa enye ikhuselwa ngomlinganiselo othile.Kulo msebenzi wacebisa ukuba amazantsi obhedu eenqanawa zomkhosi wamanzi (owona mzekelo wamandulo wokhuseleko olusebenzayo lwecathodic) zinokukhuselwa ngokuncamathisela intsimbi okanye iipleyiti zezinki kuzo.Xa iibhodi zamaplanga zathatyathelwa indawo yintsimbi nentsimbi, kwakusasetyenziswa izinc anode.
Ngo-1829 u-Henry Palmer we-London Dock Company wanikwa ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza 'lamaphepha esinyithi angaphakathi okanye amazinki', ukufumanisa kwakhe kuya kuba nefuthe elimangalisayo kuyilo lwemizi-mveliso kunye nokufaka isinyithi.
