Once archaeological iron artifacts are excavated their protective environment is lost. On exposure to the air the objects can dry out and the earthy as well as the corrosion layers become permeable due to the formation of cracks and fissures. Moisture from the air and oxygen get access to the objects. If chlorides are present in the corrosion layers and metallic iron remains in the artifact,...

The excavation of the shelter Kilian in Carspach provides an opportunity for conservator-restorers to study the behavior of modern metals in archaeological context, through excavated artifacts, such as the identification tags. The metal undergoes, during burial, various corrosion processes, altering its original condition and weakening the object. These depend on many factors, linked not only to...

This Bachelor Thesis is about the corrosion of glass and silver inside a display case of the Bernisches Historisches Museum. The objects exhibited in the display case belong to the Berner Silberschatz. Several objects in the display case show blueish-whitish hazes and yellowish tarnishing, which are not corresponding to typical corrosion products on silver. In addition, crystals formed on the...

Traditional electrochemical techniques, such as linear polarization resistance (Rp), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cannot be applied to gilded bronzes, as it may not be possible to interpret the results obtained due to the bimetallic nature of the studied material. The measurement of the macrocouple current generated by the gold/bronze galvanic couple can be used as an...
