Characterization of Roman welding technique
The proposed experiment aims to study this Roman welding technique. Previous results have shown that the welding is characterized by a large contact surface between two joined bars of possible different Carbon contents on large contact areas and probably at high temperature (1100°C-1200°C). The objective is to characterize the two sides of the full length joining in order to get information on phase qualification and Carbon content and the texture. The texture measurement will help to understand the condition of hammering. With respect to these ancient and very specific materials, non-invasive techniques are required for solving these points. For this reason, neutrons diffraction is adequate solution.
