    Metallography
    A master class by dr. Carla Martini

    Overview
    Metallography is the study of metal microstructure using microscopy techniques. Why study
    microstructures? Because microstructure is the language of metals, it can tell us about the changes
    they undergo during their lifetime. The aim of this course is to provide basic knowledge of
    metallography for metals encountered in the field of cultural heritage. The main metallurgical
    features related to microstructure generation will be discussed, enabling the participants to
    understand how metal microstructure is influenced by solidification and the manufacturing
    processes carried out in pre-modern technological conditions. Lectures will be followed by practical
    activities (carried out each day in the afternoon), to ensure participants become familiar with the
    main metallographic preparation techniques in the field of cultural heritage diagnostics. Upon
    completing of the course, the participants will be able to understand which questions can (and can
    not) be answered by metallographic investigations on cultural heritage metals, as well as how to
    interpret such answers.

    This master class is part of the regular master's program in conservation and restoration.

    Instructor
    Mrs. Dr. Carla Martini
    Is an Associate Professor at the University of Bologna in Italy. Her full CV can be found at

    Rijksmuseum.

    Costs
    Courses fees are € 625,00. Participants are responsible for all evening meals, accommodation and
    transportation. Lunches will be provided in the restaurant of the Ateliergebouw.

    Language
    The course will be given in English. Participants are advised that a basic knowledge of scientific terms
    in English is required.
