SEM and electron micro probe analysis show that Cu content is lower than that of the original alloy due to Cu loss; Sn content is higher than the original alloy in patina. This indicates that humic acid is not the substance resulting in making black patina on the bronze mirror surface, but the black patina which produced from hydroquinone solution absence of Si, Al and Mg.展开更多

The formation of tin-rich shiny black surface on mirrors was the product of the soil corrosion of the bronze mirrors. It is formed by reaction between the alloy and the humic acid in soil, and leaching of copper and lead oxides through a long period of time when the mirrors were buried under the ground. A dense cormsion-resistallt layer on the bronze mirrors consisted predominantly of stannic oxide.展开更多

As a result the formation oftin-rich shiny black surface on bronze mirrors is the product of soil corrosion of the bronze mirrors. The patina isformed by reection between the alloy and the humic acid in soil, and leaching of copper and lead oxides through along period time when the mirrors were buried under the ground leaving a dense compact corrosion-resistant layerconsisted predominantly of stannic oxide microcrystal.展开更多
