Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron... -
Characterization of the anisotropy of the micro-structural properties of work...
Time of flight neutron diffraction (ToF-ND) is a powerful technique for the characterization of the micro-structural properties of the phases present in the sample. The Rietveld... -
ToF-ND microstructural imaging for 17th-18th c. European sword blades.
The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are... -
Hidden patterns in Indian sword blades
One of our long-term aims is a detailed study of Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London (which has over one thousand items, and is the most important... -
CHARACTERISATION OF IRON SLAGS FROM THE IRON AGE
We propose the investigation of four slag samples coming from an Iron Age furnace in Hüttenberg (Hesse Region, Austria). The materials we intend to measure were recovered from...
