Abstract
This study was conducted to confirm the possibility of using the corrosion products of iron artifacts and corrosion systems for non-destructive analysis using neutrons by applying the non-destructive analysis method and the destructive analysis method together to the analysis of the corrosion system of iron artifacts. As a result of transmission analysis, the shape of the artifact, the boundary between the metal layer and the corrosion layer, etc. could be confirmed, and through tomography, the shape, surface shape, and internal cross section of the artifact could be confirmed. It was confirmed that the corrosion thickness using the residual stress measurement method has a high reliability of less than 10% of an error compared to other analysis results, so it is highly likely to be used to measure the corrosion thickness. It was confirmed that the corrosion layer of the iron artifact analyzed this time was mainly Goethite among the types of DPL and was embedded with Magnetite/Maghemite. Since the neutron analysis can estimate the corrosion thickness non-destructive, it is highly likely to be used to study the corrosion rate of iron artifacts by burial environment through additional studies.
