Metallographic and corrosion research of copper from archaeological sites

In this study, copper slabs - ingots, from both Gdańsk and Krakow were examined. Besides metallographic examinations, attention was focused on analyses of corrosion products. The following techniques were applied: scanning electron microscopy with fluorescent X-ray microanalysis and X-ray diffractio...
