Revealing the surface pattern of medieval pattern welded iron objects - etching tests conducted on reconstructed composites

Original language description

Pattern-welding is a forging technique used for making and employing laminate composites that reveal a surface pattern after polishing and etching. As the readability of the patterned surfaces is significantly enhanced by etching, one can assume that historical pattern-welded objects were somehow etched. In order to find how the objects might have been etched, samples detached from patterned-welded rods combining phosphoric iron, wrought iron and steel were ground and etched using six different acids (which could be available in the 2nd-14th centuries) under various conditions concerning acid concentration, temperature and etching time. The etching test revealed that the most visible pattern appears in the case of composites combining phosphoric iron and tempered steel, when hydrochloric acid is applied as etchant. When concerned parts of archaeological iron objects are subjected to etching, applying a weak solutions of nitric acid in gradually increased concentration or temperature se
