ABSTRACT Twelve ‘Japanned’ metal trays from Greece and Turkey, dated in the 19th century, were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic examination (stereoscopy, metallography, scanning electron microscopy) as well as to XRF and SEM-EDX analysis. The trays represent two stylistic types made of wrought iron either tin-plated or protected with a primer. Two were manufactured by forging while the rest were made by rolling prior to die forming with drop hammers or machine presses. Wrought iron was produced indirectly from cast iron with fossil fuels. Only in one case charcοal fuel was implied. Most pure iron was recognized for four trays dated at the end of the 19th century. Three of them also revealed the deliberate incorporation of metallic manganese while one of them was found to be alloyed. The other metals used such as copper, brass, silver and tin as also the methods applied, seem to follow the industrial evolution of the iron substrate but more analysis is required. As regards origin, the metallurgical results, even limited, combined with historical information, indicated that the metals/techniques used, were probably originally produced in west Europe although the supply of materials could have depended on different sources.

来自希腊和土耳其的19世纪装饰金属托盘：冶金和物产

摘要对19个希腊和土耳其的十二个“日本化”金属托盘进行了宏观和微观检查（立体镜，金相，扫描电子显微镜）以及XRF和SEM-EDX分析。托盘代表两种风格的样式，它们是由铁制成的，既可以镀锡，也可以用底漆保护。其中两个是通过锻造制造的，其余的则是通过滚压制造的，然后再使用落锤或机器压力机进行模具成型。锻铁是由铸铁与化石燃料间接生产的。仅在一种情况下暗含了炭燃料。公认最纯净的铁是19世纪末的四个托盘。其中三人还发现有意掺入金属锰，而其中之一被发现是合金的。使用的其他金属，例如铜，黄铜，银和锡以及所应用的方法似乎遵循铁基质的工业发展，但需要更多的分析。关于产地，即使是有限的冶金结果，再加上历史资料，表明所使用的金属/技术可能最初是在西欧生产的，尽管材料的供应可能取决于不同的来源。
