The metallurgy of archaeological wire: a tool for the modern metallurgist

$15.00

The study of archaeological metals offers the modern metallurgist a superb long-term corrosion laboratory. The metallurgist may study corrosion penetration in metals and alloys in wire, which are historically subjected to extreme hot and cold working. An historical perspective is an invaluable tool, as are the educational pathways and public accessibility routes that lead from an enthusiasm for archaeology to modern technology.
