The Conservability of Old Wood at the Contact with Metallic Structural Components from Artifacts

Abstract

The paper presents the impact of metallic pieces being in contact with wood, as structural elements, used in obtaining artifacts. The paper studies, based on old samples, the reciprocal effect obtained at the wood-metal interface, the diffusion and segregation area of metallic cations in wood and the protective role of some wood volatile components on metal.
