古代金属合金成分与表面处理技术的特别用意——兼论金属生产技术的动因

古代金属中的合金元素--铜、锡、铅、砷、锑等的数值大小和变化常被用来标识合金化水平和冶炼工艺以揭示技术进步的过程.然而,这些合金元素的含量在特殊情况下会高到超出普通铜合金的正常值或在金属表面富集,技术本身很难清楚地解释这类现象.文章通过系统总结、比较、分析了世界各地有关锡、铅、砷、锑等合金元素在金属中出现的特别用意,试图从视觉效果--对颜色追求的角度来理解有关合金和表面处理技术产生的意识形态因素.

The Special Purpose of Ancient Alloy Composition and Surface Treatment:A Preliminary Discussion on the Motive for Ancient Metal Technology

The magnitude and variation of some ancient alloy compositional elements, including copper, tin, lead, arsenic, and antimony, are used to indicate the level of alloying development and smelting technique to reveal the course of progress made in technology. However, the contents of these alloy elements are much higher than that of the usual bronze alloy or rich in the surface, which is difficult to get a reasonable elucidation through the technology itself. These unusual phenomena can be understood from the point of view of visual effect-the pursuing for the color of metals and alloys by investigating the archaeological materials based on tin, lead, arsenic, and antimony collected from all over the world, which will be helpful for identifying the ideological factor hidden in the metal technology to initiate the humanistic thinking in the history of metal technology.
