Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The report questions the assumption that plasma treatment of corroding metals has little significant effect on the microstructure of the metals. It is argued that, although under the less extreme conditions now adopted in some laboratories gross phase changes may not happen, more subtle changes are very likely to be taking place, as exemplified by a series of test pieces of iron and silver metallographically examined before and after plasma treatment. The tests are described and some of the changes in structure that are likely to occur in metals in the temperature range 100--300ºC are outlined. The authors contend that these changes are significant and are often the result of deliberate heat treatments during the original manufacture of the artefacts. Once they have been modified by subsequent heating much of the fabrication history will have been lost. It is also argued that other structural changes occur over long periods of time and these are also vulnerable to quite modest heating, thereby compromising future authentication examinations. | ||
