A Study on the Metallurgical Characteristic of Hammer Scale Produced through Traditional Iron-making Experiments

Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the metallurgical characteristic through material scientific analysis of hammer scale produced as a direct smelting method restoration experiment for each raw material of iron.To this end, four hammer scale groups were set up, respectively, by experimenting with Gyeongju-Gampo Iron sand and Yangyang Iron ore.For the analysis, principal component analysis, compound analysis, microstructure observation, and chemical composition were confirmed.As a result of principal component analysis, as forging and refining progressed, the content of Fe increased and the content of non-metallic objects decreased.As a result of compound analysis, iron oxide-based compounds were identified.As a result of confirming microstructure and chemical composition, Wüstite and Fayalite were observed overall, and agglomerated Wüstite were observed in some.Magnetite on shape of polygon and pillar was observed.In addition, it was confirmed that internal defects, impurities, and non-metallic interventions gradually decreased.In the future, it is necessary to investigate the metallurgical characteristic through material scientific analysis of hammer scale produced through restoration experiments using various raw material of iron, and compare them with those excavated from Iron manufacture ruins.
