The corrosion story: Part 8 (conclusion): Sherardizing

Abstract

The inception of the process The process of sherardizing, or “dry galvanizing” dates from 1900 although the principles involved in sherardizing were not entirely unknown previous to this. In 1838 M. Berry, took out a British patent in which he coated iron and copper in a manner similar to the sherardizing process. In 1896 Roberts‐Austen showed that it was possible to alloy gold and lead at temperatures well below the melting point of lead.
