This book provides an introduction to the structure and morphology of ancient and historic metallic materials. It deals extensively with many practical matters relating to the mounting, preparation, etching, polishing, and microscopy of metallic samples and includes an account of the way in which phase diagrams can be used to assist structural interpretation. The text is supplemented by an extensive number of microstructural studies carried out in the laboratory on ancient and historic metals.
The Nature of Metals
The Microstructure of Ancient Metals
Two-phased Materials
The Microstructure of Tin Bronzes
Notes on the Structure of Carbon Steels
Martensite in Low-carbon Steels
