| Description: | This contribution is focused on some metallic elements from the stained glass windows of the Monastery of Pedralbes, Barcelona, and the Cathedral of Seville (Spain). The main goal of the research was to assess their current state of conservation by studying microstructural features and mechanisms of corrosion. The samples were characterised through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), metallographic observations and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results obtained allow to conclude that lead cames presented a slight degree of deterioration. Their corrosion products are mainly composed of lead oxide, lead carbonate and lead sulphate which provide good protection to this material. On the contrary, iron support bars presented a higher degree of deterioration characterised by the occurrence of iron oxides and hydroxides which slowly corrode the material. Overall, the data achieved have been useful to make decisions for future preservation of these works of art and to approach technological aspects of ancient production. |
