Electrochemists to the rescue!
How would the presence of a zinc pommel with a tang passing through it affect the ability of oxygen to attack iron at the tip of the sword? Surely, zinc molecules do not travel along the blade. If this were so, why do we use time consuming and expensive zinc plating instead of just attaching a lump of zinc somewhere at the periphery? |
