This study aims to provide basic data for actual heritage conservation areas by suggesting the reuse method of materials from wooden historic buildings. This research may contribute to an increase in the utilization of materials for stabilizing the structure of wooden historic buildings. The data were collected by applying heating, tapping, and heat treatment based on the pattern and extent of the damage of iron nails acquired from wooden historic buildings. To make a comparison before and after processing, morphological characteristics and physical properties were measured using a metallurgical analysis. According to these data, we can infer that the possibility of reuse of historic iron materials could be raised in the restoration process of historic buildings such as existing building components and roof tiles. If the research is to move forward, authenticity will be fostered in architectural heritage conservation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
