Non-destructive pole-figure measurements on workshop-made silver reference model of archaic objects

Based on the knowledge of crystallographic texture, parameters metal-forming heat treatment metallic objects can be reconstructed well when conventional technologies (e.g. rolling, deep drawing, etc.) are applied. The characterisation texture has been possible only by using destructive techniques, apart from neutron diffraction. Recently, a non-destructive measurement method developed for centreless diffractometers, providing new dimension to examination archaic objects. In present study, two types Stresstech G3R diffractometer were used with this method, which proved it applicable both tabletop and robotic arm-assisted versions diffractometer. Although revealed production these cannot directly deduced results, since their manufacturing steps not identical operations applied today. workshop-made silver reference samples produced help three silversmiths. Wrinkling, metal spinning intermediate annealing rolled sheet aim making real-sized cups. cups then subjected examinations. results reveal textures during obtained information greatly assists future research in understanding pole figures reconstruction technology.
