ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | MAY/JUNE 2023 30 if SCC were extensive, as it can be in heritage silver[4] and bronze[5] artifacts. Fortunately, microstructural embrittlement appears to be relatively uncommon in heritage gold and silver artifacts. Even so, these require much care in handling and in the choice of restoration techniques to preserve their integrity[3,5]. ~AM&P For more information: Russell Wanhill, Emmeloord, the Netherlands, rjhwanhill@gmail.com; Omid Oudbashi, associate professor, department of conservation of cultural and historical properties and archaeometry, Art University of Isfahan, Iran, o.oudbashi@ aui.ac.ir.
