Modelling Possibilities of the Medieval Bloomery Process under Laboratory Conditions

Abstract:

Two different models have been developed under laboratory conditions based on the experiences of smelting experiments carried out in bloomery furnaces patterned on some excavated 10-12^th century ones. Using Rudabánya iron ore, experiments were conducted in a closed pot and in a small open shaft furnace. During the experiments the air supply, the temperature and the weight of the iron ore and the charcoal were measured. SEM-EDX analyses were performed on bloom pieces obtained from the experiments. The results of the modelling may be correlated with the results of the previous smelting experiments. The model is sufficient for investigating some adequate parameters of the medieval bloomery technology, e.g. the iron yield.
