The Corrosion Story: Part 3: Zinc, Lead and Aluminium

Abstract

1. Zinc Zinc was closely linked with copper as a sacrificial partner and because of this relationship an increased use was found for the metal in the 19th century. Around 1838 particular interest was being shown by scientists in the protective power of zinc when in contact with other metals and articles indicate that a scientific appreciation of the principles involved was evident.
