- Abstract:
- Based on the crystallographic texture, the parameters of metal forming, heat treatment of metallic objects can be very well reconstructed as far as conventional technology (eg rolling, deep drawing, etc.) was applied. The characterization of the texture, except for the neutron diffraction, has been possible only by the destructive method. We have developed and validated the non-destructive texture measurement method for centreless diffractometers. The diffractometers, by their function, allow nondestructive testing, thus providing a whole new dimension for the examination of archaic objects. The texture of archaic objects can thus be determined, but the production of these objects is not comparable to the metal forming operations used today. Therefore, we made silver model objects with the help of goldsmiths, then subjected to non-destructive texture testing of the objects and determined pole figures. The obtained information will greatly assist in understanding the pole figures on archaic objects and in exploring the technology employed. Keywords: non-invasive, non-destructive crystallographic texture, X-ray diffraction, silver metal spinning
