Conserving Iron Objects from Shipwrecks: A New Approach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Recent experiments in the conservation of iron objects from several shipwrecks have resulted in a new method to arrest corrosion and stabilize the materials for further study or exhibition. The process involves the use of electrolysis and the application of a tannin preparation to neutralize the generation of iron-destructive compounds.
