Metals conservation, or more precisely conservation-restoration of metals is the activity dedicated to the protection and preservation of historical (religious, artistic, technical and ethnographic) and archaeological objects made partly or entirely of metal. In it are included all activities aimed at preventing or slowing deterioration of items, as well as improving accessibility and readability of them as objects of cultural heritage. Despite the fact that metals are generally considered as the relatively permanent and stable materials, in contact with the environment they deteriorate gradually , some faster and some much slower.This applies especially to archaeological finds.

It is very important that a conservator of metals has knowledge of basic metalworking techniques, history of metalwork, history of arts, archaeology, corrosion of metals, scientific research methods, theory and ethics of conservation-restoration[1]

[edit] Deterioration of metals

An essential cause of deterioration is corrosion of metal objects or object deterioration by interaction with the environment. As the most influential factors of deterioration of historical objects should be pointed out as the relative humidity and air pollution while in archaeological objects a crucial role has composition, depth, humidity and amount of gasses in the soil. In cases of marine or fresh water finds the most important factors of decay are the amount and composition of soluble salts, water depth, amount of dissolved gases, the direction of water currents and the role of both microscopic and macroscopic living organisms.



[edit] Deterioration of materials associated with metals

Associated materials deteriorate depending on the origin whether they are organic or inorganic materials. Organic materials usually fail in a relatively short period of time, primarily due to biodegradation.With inorganic materials are these processes considerably longer and more complex.Amount of gases,humidity,depth and composition of soil are very important . In case of salty and sweet water finds essential are amount of gases dissolved in water,depth of water,direction of currents ,and microscopic and macroscopic living organisms.

  • Plastics

[edit] Ethics and ethical problems in metals conservation

The ethical concept of conservation of metal objects in principle is the same as those in other fields of conservation-restoration of cultural heritage.

But there are several specific problems that can only be found in the conservation of metals - problem of heat treatment of archaeological objects, and the problem of radical restoration of historic, mostly technical, but also architectonic objects too.

While in the first case problem is primarily in the destruction of valuable scientific data, in case of the technical, the architectural, and somewhat less often, historical objects, problem is that a radically restored items just simulate the original appearance of the object, and so in some ways that objects can be considered even as ,more or less ,successfull fakes, which only superficialy simulate long-lost or never existing state of object.

According to the above-mentioned ,whenever it is possible real historical substance must be preserved.Thoroughly documented and technically professionally executed restoration of objects,must be avoided because such objects must be seen only as freshly painted surrogates of authentic historic substance[2]

Ethical problems connected with conservation of sacred metallic heritage objects objects can be included too( is it acceptable that believer of one religion works on sacred objects that belong to another religious group?)[3].

[edit] Documentation

Systematic and well-managed documentation is today an essential prerequisite for quality executed conservation and restoration treatments , including documentation of the state of objects before, during and after treatment. Identification of materials and procedures used to produce object and the results of any scientific research must be part of documentation too.Last but not least- an integral part of the documentation must be a recommendation for further care of object.

[edit] Conservation

[edit] Basics

As with the conservation and restoration works on any other material, here are the basic tenets of conservation-restoration based on the quality of execution and the best possible preservation of cultural , historical and technological identity and integrity of objects. Minimal intervention , reversibility, retreat-ability and repeatability of preferred treatment are essential, as well as the possibility of easy identification of restored parts . Recently non-toxic nature of used materials and procedures becomes important too, both in relation to objects and conservator-restorer as a performer,but also in relation to the environment[4]

[edit] Preventive Conservation

Metallic heritage objects are sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity ,polluted air and exposure to light and ultraviolet light. They must be protected in a controlled environment where such variables are maintained within a range of damage-limiting levels(specially archaeological metallic objects).

Preventive conservation is an important element of museum policy and collections care. It is an essential responsibility of members of the museum profession to create and maintain a protective environment for the collections in their care, whether in store, on display, or in transit. A museum should carefully monitor the condition of collections to determine when an artifact requires conservation work and the services of a qualified conservator.

[edit] Interventive Conservation

[edit] Cleaning

The simplest and most common procedure(but it can be very complex too) . We distinguish between mechanical, chemical, electrochemical, ultrasonic and laser cleaning. In principle, aimed at removing of dirt and corrosion products.Archaeology objects must be cleaned only mechanically.

  • Mechanical
  • Chemical
  • Electrochemical
  • Ultrasonic
  • Laser

[edit] Structural Consolidation

Aimed at strengthening of the physical structure of the object, and correcting the shape of the object.

  • Mechanical joining
  • Soldering
  • Welding
  • Gluing/Cementing

[edit] Reconstruction of missing parts or decorative surfaces

In certain cases, metals conservator must re-create the lost parts of objects or restore original surface decoration . This approach is accurate only if we have an exact documentation or photographs of items in a complete, currently non-existent state that we want to return.

New parts must be clearly and visibly marked and at least they must be minimally different from the original historic material.

If needed, those parts must be easily and completely removable from the object, and with methods which will not harm it.

[edit] Stabilization

Focused on slowing of deterioration of objects - in case of archaeology objects the thorough removal or blocking of chloride salts.In case of the historical objects it is focused on the use of corrosion inhibitors ,conversion coatings ,or eventually oxygen free storage.

[edit] Protective Coatings

Still mainly focused on use of clearcoats and waxes,in case of technology objects oil coatings can be used too. In general it supports the stabilization process.

  • Clearcoats

[edit] Storage of metallic heritage objects

The items should be stored in areas that are protected from polluted air, dust, ultraviolet radiation, and excessive relative humidity - ideal values are temperature of 16-20 ° C and up to 40%(35-55% according to recent Canadian Conservation Institute reccomendations) relative humidity, noting that if metal is combined with organic materials, relative humidity should not be below 45%. Archaeological objects must be kept in rooms ( or boxes) with very low relative humidity, or in the case of particularly valuable items in the chambers with nitrogen or argon .Objects with active corrosion of copper or copper alloys up to 35% RH. Iron objects with active corrosion 12-15% RH. Shelves in the storerooms must be of stainless steel or chlorine and acetate free plastic or powder coated steel. Wood and wood based products must be avoided. Also do not use rubber ,felt or wool .When you are handling metal objects,always wear clean cotton gloves.Ligting levels must be kept bellow 300 lux (up to 150 lux in case of lacquered or painted objects,up to 50 lux in case of objects with ligtht sensitive materials)[5]
