Reply to the question concerning Sacrificial Anodes: (Brianna C) (consdistlist Digest, Vol 33, Issue 58)
Sacrificial Anodes in its passive or active (ICCP) form can only be effective within an electrolyte, for example, when corroding metal (cathode) and anode is surrounded by water, soil or covered with a porous material that distributes water equally to allow the flow of electrons. Considering a ICCP system this doesn't mean part of the metal can't be exposed to open air, however this needs to be calculated in detail considering several aspects, such as, amount of metal to be protected, current distributions and environmental conditions/changes. Monitoring and maintenance are thus a must. It has been shown in small scale student studies (unpublished) on CP that the use of a passive sacrificial anode for the protection of metals in sculptures and mosaics is not without risk. If you wishes to protect a free standing metal object in open air by a Cathodic Protection, one can only consider a CP coating. However, I assume a coating is out of the question.

The day aims to bring together conservation and non-conservation professionals with an interest in the preservation of modern materials such polymeric materials (plastics), modern metal alloys, carbon fibre, modern production techniques (e.g. 3D printing) and modern objects that have intrinsic challenges, like batteries and modern technology. Abstracts on all materials from the 20th and 21st century will be considered ? no material is too modern! We are particularly interested in research or treatment in progress and perceived ?failures? to fuel ongoing discussions throughout the day and beyond. The day will be split in to talks on current research and poster presentations. Please specify which you would like to submit to. Submission criteria: * Abstract submission deadline: 31st July 2019 * Word max: 250 words * Language: All abstracts and information must be submitted in English. * Please state whether you are applying for a talk or poster presentation. * Submissions should be made to iconmodernmateri...@gmail.com<mailto:iconmodernmateri...@gmail.com> * Follow us @IconMMN #NoMaterialTooModern ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 13:40:07 -0400 From: Scott Devine <scottwdev...@gmail.com> To: consdistlist@cool.conservation-us.org Subject: [Consdistlist] Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) - Training Course, 27 September 2019, Edinburgh (Tatjana Wischniowski) Message-ID: <cae9q-ykovywdlwavcoejcpjx7_xovb+ardwdausbtfo9zy0...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" A one day RTI training course will be hosted by Icon Scotland Group and Museums Galleries Scotland.

The course will cover the process of getting your ideas into print, from choosing a good subject to finding the right outlet, and from submission to publication. The focus of the course is primarily practical and will include tips on structuring an article, peer review, preparing images for publication, referencing ... and how not to annoy an editor! Throughout the day there will be short practical writing exercises, so it would be helpful if attendees could bring examples of works-in-progress or be prepared to talk about an idea that they have for publication. This course has a limit of 12 participants, to allow enough time for discussion and practical exercises. The course leader is happy to offer individual advice and mentoring to the participants after the course has finished.

Candidates should be recent graduates (within two years) of a recognised book or paper conservation training program or have equivalent experience. The applicant must be eligible to work in Ireland, and should demonstrate an interest in conservation in Ireland. Stipend: ?19,000 (subject to normal PRSI and PAYE deductions) The deadline for applications is Friday 15th August 2019 and interviews are expected to be held at TCD or via Skype on Thursday 29th August 2019. Candidates should send a letter of interest addressed to the Keeper of Preservation and Conservation, describing their conservation training and practical experience and why they wish to take up this internship. They should also confirm their eligibility to work in Ireland, and describe their interest in conservation in Ireland and Trinity College Library in particular. A curriculum vitae and two references must be included in the application, which is to be emailed to: nelig...@tcd.ie<mailto:nelig...@tcd.ie> Clodagh Neligan A-ICRI Caomhn?ir Sinsearach P?ip?ar Roinn Caomhnaithe Glucksman Leabharlann Chol?iste na Tr?on?ide Sr?id an Chol?iste, Baile ?tha Cliath 2 T: +353 1 896 1137 / 1 896 1149 E: nelig...@tcd.ie<mailto:nelig...@tcd.ie> F?adfar c?ip de phostas leictreonach chuig an Chol?iste, uaidh n? taobh istigh de a iarraidh faoin Acht um Shaor?il Faisn?ise.

This is probably due to a mismatch between the refractive index of the deteriorated glass (the iridescent layer) and the consolidant. Paraloid B72 has a similar refractive index to undeteriorated glass (1.48 compared to approx. 1.5), whereas the refractive index of the iridescent layer is probably nearer to that of silica gel - about 1.43 - so a consolidant with a lower refractive index might give a better result.

I have found some research on it, but it tends to be geared towards objects found underwater. The sculpture I'm doing research for is made of steel, bronze, and silver. The sacrificial anodes are meant for the steel table that supports a head made of the other materials. I'd like to hear from you all about your experience with sacrificial anodes, especially if it relates to: - using them on outdoor sculptures - how they affect metals like bronze and silver - how successful using them was - and how you protected them from outdoor elements Thanks, -- Brianna A R.
