DID YOU KNOW??

This process is older than you might think. It was invented in the later 1800s by an American soldier named Benjamin Chew Tilghman. Supposedly, Tilghman’s idea came from seeing the effect of windblown sand on windows in the desert during his time in the military.

His first patent for sandblasting was filed in the US sometime in 1870, and a patent in the UK followed later in the year. Following the official patent, Tilghman would win awards for his invention, and go on to introduce modifications for new uses and further develop the method as time went on.

Wheelabrator Tilghman, now known as Wheelabrator Group, was founded in Britain by Tilghman in the late 1800s following his success, and still trades to this day.

DID YOU KNOW??

Modern electrochemistry was invented by Italian chemist Luigi Valentino Brugnatelli (it) in 1805. Brugnatelli used his colleague Alessandro Volta's invention of five years earlier, the voltaic pile, to facilitate the first electrodeposition. Brugnatelli's inventions were suppressed by the French Academy of Sciences and did not become used in general industry for the following thirty years. By 1839, scientists in Britain and Russia had independently devised metal deposition processes similar to Brugnatelli's for the copper electroplating of printing press plates.

Boris Jacobi in Russia not only rediscovered galvanoplastics, but developed electrotyping and galvanoplastic sculpture. Galvanoplastics quickly came into fashion in Russia, with such people as inventor Peter Bagration, scientist Heinrich Lenz and science fiction author Vladimir Odoyevsky all contributing to further development of the technology. Among the most notorious cases of electroplating usage in mid-19th century Russia were gigantic galvanoplastic sculptures of St. Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg and gold-electroplated dome of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, the tallest Orthodox church in the world.
