  • Understanding Alloy Design Principles and Cast Metal Technology in Hot Molds for Medieval Bengal

CHATTOPADHYAY**, DIPTEN MISRA+ AND PRASANTA K. DATTA++ (Received 9 September 2009; revised 17 November 2009) Two beautiful bronze images of medieval period unearthed in South Bengal have been investigated. After laser cleaning, material characterization was undertaken to reconstruct the technology as well as the knowledge base of metal workers. The bronze items were found to be cast product whose chemistry belongs to copper – zinc – lead system with small addition of tin. The use of copper-zinc alloy in place of copper-tin with addition of lead becomes quite significant in this respect and points towards developing a working knowledge for copper-alloy design. The analysis of microstructures signifies towards a casting technology, where, hot molds were used. For confirmation of the molds, some tribal metal casting operations were also investigated. The technology was then reconstructed in the laboratory and some casting as the facts were produced. Microstructures of all three types look almost similar leading to the conclusion that coppersmiths used hot clay molds for bronze production.

  • The Smithy: Blacksmith, Nailsmith, Locksmith, Tinsmith and Gunsmith”
    The Locksmith Excerpted from “The Smithy: Blacksmith, Nailsmith, Locksmith, Tinsmith and Gunsmith” From the Collections at Historic Bethlehem [PA] Despite the occupational title, Bethlehem locksmiths were often masters of several different, yet allied trades. As such, they were probably the most skilled of all the metalsmiths. Indeed, there was considerable overlapping in the metal trades in the 18th century, not only in Bethlehem, but also throughout the colonial world. Locksmithing required the use of forge and anvil. While good blacksmiths could make padlocks and simple rim locks, the locksmith also required the knowledge of lathe turning, spring tempering, rivet and screw making, precise fitting and hole punching. In the Bethlehem account books between 1756 and 1762, the trade is often referred to as the "locksmith and gunstock maker." Anton Schmidt and his son Anton were not only locksmiths, but also accomplished blacksmiths, tinsmiths, and plumbers (those who work in sheet lead). The locksmith worked in tin plate, sheet iron, brass, steel, pewter, copper, lead, and wood and made and repaired not only locks and keys, but also saddle mountings, small tools, hinges, screws, and gunstocks. Although the Moravians were pacifists, they saw nothing immoral in the production or the repair of firearms. During the French and Indian War (1755-1763), for example, the locksmith repaired dozens of muskets, swords, and other military equipment for the Pennsylvania Provincial troops. In Bethlehem's account books, the wide range of work accomplished by the locksmith is evident from the following excerpts: May 19, 1765 Chars. Folck for mending 2 rifles £ – 4.9 –* Sebastian Graf for a Lock & iron and iron June 30, 1756 £ –.8.
