ToF ND investigation of Medieval double-edged swords
The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of... -
Gold and Silver fire gilding of copper/bronze objects
By means of the NRCA signal generated by objects on the INES beam line we intend to quantify the amount of gold and silver applied on the surface of art objects. Replica samples... -

Aim of this experiment is the identification and characterization of the peculiar steel production, and forging methods, of three Japanese swords made by the three most... -
The correlation of metallography with neutron diffraction for Indo-Persian ar...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as... -
Technological study of Nuragic Bronze boat models (Sardinia, Italy)
The production of Nuragic Bronze Figurines represents a rich historical archive that provides key information not only about the iconography but also about the metal production... -
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... -
Interaction between Residual and Applied Stresses in Dissimilar Metal Welds
This proposal, that is part of the Bristol-Open University-ISIS long term programme, is to undertake a series of neutron diffraction experiments to gain an understanding of the... -
