전통 제철실험을 통해 생산된 단조박편의 재료과학적 특성 연구

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

제철원료별 직접제련법 복원실험으로 생산된 단조박편의 재료과학적 분석을 통해 금속학적 특성을 규명하였다. 제련을 위해 경주감포사철과 양양철광석을 이용하며, 각각 4개의 그룹을 설정하였다. 분석은 주성분, 광물 동정, 미세조직 관찰을 하였다. 주성분 분석 결과 정련·단접이 진행될수록 Fe의 함량은 증가하고 비금속개재물의 함량은 감소하였다. 광물을 동정한 결과 산화철 계열의 광물이 확인되었다. 미세조직 관찰 결과 Wüstite, Fayalite가 관찰되었으며, 일부에는 응집된 Wüstite가 관찰되었다. 일부 다각형, 장주상의 Magnetite도 확인되었다. 또한, 공극 및 불순물, 비금속개재물은 점차 감소하였다. 차후 다양한 제철원료를 이용한 복원실험을 통해 생산된 단조박편의 재료과학적 분석을 통해 금속학적 특성을 규명하고, 이를 유적에서 출토된 단조박편과 비교·검토하는 것이 필요하다.

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.
