Metallographic Study of the Iron and Steel Articles Revealed in the Locality of the Former Kamensk Upper Plant

Resumo

In this paper, we have continued a metallographic study of a number of old articles produced in the Urals at the beginning of the 18th century, i.e., during the transition from manual to factory production. The results of studying the microstructure and the chemical composition of articles made of iron and carbon steel at the Kamensk foundry and ironworks, as well the features of their production have been presented and discussed. This paper relates to the field of archeometallography.
