Sherardizing is the formation of a corrosion-resistant, zinc-iron alloy coating, on the surface of steel or iron.
The method involves the heating of the object in an airtight container that has zinc powder.
A thermal diffusion process occurs and the zinc diffuses into the object’s metal surface, forming the zinc-iron alloy.

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or tungsten/inert-gas (TIG) welding, is a manual welding process that uses a non-consumable electrode made of tungsten, an inert or semi-inert gas mixture, and a separate filler material.
