We have tried the experimental research of lost-wax casting to reconstruct Gilt-Bronze Pensive Bodhisattva; preliminary and reconstruction experiment based on ancient texts. Main object to reconstruct is Korean National Treasure No.83, Gilt-Bronze Pensive Bodhisattva (Maitreya), then we measure alloy ratio and casting method based on the scientific analysis. Other impurities were removed from the base metal components(copper : tin : lead) and their ratio was set to 95.5 : 6.5 : 3 where the ratios for tin and lead were increased by 2.5% each. The piece-mold casting method was used, and piece-mold casting experiments were carried out twice in this study but supplementary research on piece-mold casting was necessary. The microstructure was confirmed to be typical cast microstructure and the component analysis result was similar to that of the prior study. Analysis of the chemical composition is confirmed to copper, tin, lead, and zinc, and the chemical composition of the matrix was 87.8%Cu-7.5%Sn-2.7%Pb-2.1%Zn, and similar to previous experimental research. Also resulted in the detection of small impurity in Zn. Analysis of the mould revealed that the mould was fabricated by adding quartz and organic matter for structural stability, fire resistance, and air permeability. We expect that our research will contribute to provide base data for advanced researches in future.

고문헌 조사를 토대로 밀랍주조법을 이용한 사전실험, 재현실험을 통해 청동반가사유상의 복원 연구를 실시하였다. 복원대상은 국보 제83호 금동미륵보살반가사유상으로, 이에 대한 과학적 분석결과를 바탕으로 합금비, 주조방법 등을 설정하였다. 사전실험에서 합금비는 구리:주석:납=95.5:4.0:0.5로 설정하였으나, 본실험에서는 기화량을 감안하여 납과 주석을 각각 2.5%씩 증량하여 장입하였다. 밀랍주조법을 적용하였으며, 본실험에서는 밀랍 경도 실험을 실시하여 송진 30%를 투입하였을 때 적정 강도를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 미세조직은 일반적인 주조조직(α-Cu, δ)이 확인되었고, 성분분석 결과 선행연구와 유사한 양상을 나타내었다. 거푸집 분석결과, 구조적 안정성과 내화성을 위해 석영 비짐을 넣었으며, 다수의 유기물이 확인되었다. 본 연구가 향후 청동반가사유상의 전통주조법과 복원기술 연구에 대한 기초 자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.
