摘要：

This article discusses six cases of ancient silver embrittlement. The diagnostic techniques and results are surveyed, followed by the most likely explanations of embrittlement. There are two basic types of embrittlement: corrosion-induced, and microstructurally induced, which can act synergistically. Corrosion-induced embrittlement takes several forms, including what appears to be intergranular and transgranular stress corrosion cracking. The main intrinsic factor facilitating corrosion-induced embrittlement is retained cold-work in the silver. Microstructural embrittlement is characterized by intergranular fracture, most probably due to low-temperature segregation of lead to the grain boundaries. Knowledge of the details of embrittlement can be essential for optimizing the restoration and conservation of damaged artifacts. © 2011 ASM International.
