Non-invasive study of Indian sword blades
The Wallace Collection, London has one of the most important collections of Indian Arms & Armour outside the subcontinent. Museum objects must be studied non-destructively,... -
Effects of hardening and annealing cycles on binary and leaded bronzes
Here, we aim at characterizing the micro-structural and compositional effects of hardening and annealing on binary and leaded bronzes under different operative conditions. The... -
Non invasive characterization of four eneolithic arsenic rich metal artefacts...
Archaeological research in the Fontino cave in the north of Tuscia brought to the discovery of several eneolithic metal copper based artefacts as knives, awls and rivets (4000... -
Copy of: Characterization of Indo-Persian blades of the Wallace Collection
This experiment is a continuation of a previous one aiming to analyse the composition and microstructure of Indo-Persian swords and daggers of the Wallace Collection whose... -
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... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of five Japanese T...
The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
Residual strain mapping of a Japanese helmet
In this experiment, we propose to analyze a lamellar structured helmet, with no rivets visible, from the Saotome school, whose products are considered, by most experts, as the... -
Non invasive characterization of two high quality lamellar Japanese helmets
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting... -
Determination of binary calibration curves for Neutron Resonance Capture Anal...
Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of... -
Phase mapping of three parts of a Japanese steel armour of 16th Century
We propose to measure three parts of a full suit of armour pertaining to the Stibbert Museum in Florence (Italy) which recent studies on leather and fabric components of it,... -
Test of scintillators for neutron radiography and tomography
The development of neutron radiography and tomography techniques using a portable equipment based on a compact neutron generator and innovative detector system is of great... -

Test of a high-resolution CCD camera for neutron radiography
We propose to test a high-resolution, light-intensified CCD camera system on INES for neutron radiography. The potential use of such a system on INES for radiographic purposes... -
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... -
Diffraction 'artifacts' due to shape sie and thickness variation in copper (p...
We poropse to study the effect of postion, varaiation of distance and jaw size on a configuration of two Cu plates on the INES diffractometer in order to obtain informaton on... -
Radiation damage test of CCD cameras for neutron imaging applications
In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging... -
Determination of the detection limits and quantitative analysis reliability o...
Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it... -
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... -
Optimization of neu_ART neutron imaging set-up
In the frame of neu_ART project, financially supported by Regione Piemonte (Italy), we are investigating the possibility to perform neutron radiography and tomography of...
