For many years theexperts concerned at home and abroad cannot make distinct progress in the control or cure ofpowdery corrosion. This paper introduces in detail analyses of XRD, SEM. TEM and XRFA on afragment of serials bells with serious powdery corrosion from the Cai Hou Tomb, pointingout that the components of powdery corrosion are mainly atacamite (Cu_2(OH)_3Cl), cuprite(Cu_2O) and cassiterite (SnO_2) in the worse crystalline state. In the bell's matrix, there arecorrosion gullies which has the same phase components as the powdery corrosion. Obviously,this discovery has very important significance for studying the formation mechanism ofpowdery corrosion.展开更多

The main components of the corrosion are much like those of the ancient bronze powder corrosion. It is found that chloride, water and oxygen are the essential factors for P-C formation of which chlorine plays the most important role. According to the results of expriments and thermodynamic calculations, the chemical mechanism of the copper desease was studied. It is pointed out that the fast spread of P-C is caused by two vicious circles.展开更多
