The analysis of refractory materials from Ust-Ruditsky Lomonosov factory by the non-destructive methods

Abstract

Non-destructive methods of instrumental analysis are relevant in the present time for the study of historical objects and objects from the Museum storage. Methods of electron microscopy (SEM, EDS) and X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy (XRF) analysis of refractory materials-glass, crucibles and residues finding in locations Lomonosov factory in Ust-Ruditsa. Morphological and chemical properties of materials are discussed. The authenticity of the use of Gzhel clay in the manufacture of crucibles to Lomonosov production is confirmed. The presence of copper, manganese, iron, lead like painting elements in glass pars of materials. Refs 22. Figs 5. Tables 7.
