Causes And Solutions Of Cracks In Welded Bronze Fittings

One of the primary causes of cracks in soldered bronze fittings is improper heating during the soldering process. If the heat is not evenly distributed or if excessive heat is applied to a specific area, it can lead to thermal stress and cause the fitting to crack. To prevent this, it is crucial to use the appropriate soldering technique and ensure that the heat is evenly applied to the entire fitting. Proper heating techniques, such as using a propane torch or a soldering iron with adjustable temperature settings, can help minimize the risk of thermal stress and cracking. Proper joint design and preparation are crucial in preventing cracks in soldered bronze fittings. The joint should be designed to distribute stress evenly across the fitting, minimizing the risk of concentrated stress points that can lead to cracking. Additionally, chamfering or beveling the edges of the fittings can help reduce stress concentration and promote better solder flow, enhancing the overall strength of the joint.

Archaeologists Uncover a Bronze Belt Fitting From an Unknown Pagan Cult

team of archaeologists from Masaryk University have uncovered a bronze belt fitting from an unknown pagan cult in the village of Lány, located in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

The belt fitting dates from the 8th century AD and depicts a snake devouring a frog-like creature that appears in Germanic, Avar, and Slavic mythology.

Such representations are related to the cosmogonic myth of the world’s creation which are found at various sites across Central Europe, while the interaction between the frog and the snake can be linked to fertility cult practices.

According to the researchers, the belt fitting provides evidence of a previously unknown pagan cult that connected diverse populations of varying origins during the early Middle Ages before the advent of Christianity which began in the 9th century AD.

The discovery in Lány belongs to the group of so-called Avar belt fittings, which were mainly produced in Central Europe in the 7th and 8th centuries AD. It was likely worn by an Avar, a Northeast Caucasian ethnic group who settled in the Carpathian Basin, however, it could also be from one of the cultures influenced by Avar cultural practices.

Using an X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a lead isotope analysis, and 3D digital morphometry, an analysis of the belt fitting revealed that the greater part of the bronze was heavily gilded and was cast by using a wax model.

A chemical analysis of the lead isotopes in the bronze alloy indicates that the copper used in the production was mined in the Slovak Red Mountains, while the morphometric analysis suggests that some of the fittings originate from the same workshop.

The results of the study have been published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

K, here are my thoughts on the Lucy fashion thing.

A couple outfits I find hideous. A few I like A LOT, and one of them I ADORE. Let's start with the bad first.

This is horrifying. Not only is blue NOT AT ALL Lucy's colour, but I don't even understand this. The socks, the shoes, the awful boxers. I do like the vest and it should go nicely with something else. But here it's awful.

This I also terrible. Again the colour and the thinking behind the cut I do not understand. Lucy has thick boxy thighs, which in this make them look even boxier. I don't get it.

This is ok. Again blue is not her colour, but I do love the cut of the top. For the trousers I would have gone with a more tapered leg. Heels would have worked better.

This is really good. It's her colour. It's warm. Again love the top, not a fan of the baggie trousers and they're too long.

Now we're talking. The colour suits her so much. A soft pink. So lush and cheque, and the vest highlights her amazing upper body physique and those shoulders. 8/10

Everything about this is gorgeous. Beige is literally Lucy's colour and the cut and the unique tailoring of the top. Love this. You can tell she's comfortable in it too.

And now my absolute fave. I am going wild over this outfit. The material I exquisite, the colour is incredible. Green isn't usual for her but here it works because it's a warm green, it's the green of garden leaves, and again it fits to her form. I'm wild about this, though I'd love to see her stand up in it for a better view. From this pic it's a 10/10. Love the details in the arms too.

I would kill to see Ingrid in this actually.

Top left: One of two GIFs from an Indonesian waterfall in Lombok. Three medium pieces of water falling in slow motion pour out of some trees and other greenery.

Top middle: A GIF showing someone wearing a device that gives them fake, decorative claws. A piece of plastic at the back of the hand is held on with a strap on the wrist, connecting strings to the fingers. This lets them wear and show off black claw tips.

Top right: A GIF showing two strips of dark, rocky sections in very blue, almost azure water. This is in Lombok, Indonesia. We can see foamy white currents slowly hit up against the rocks from an angle above.

Middle left: A GIF where a pile of chocolate chips gets stirred evenly throughout a bowl of cookie dough. A scoop is taken out at the end.

Middle: A still picture showing three or four komodo dragons gathered together. They’re very dark brown for the most part, almost black or gray, and a lighter tan in other spots.

Middle right: A GIF where a piece of gold-bronze sequined fabric is turned this way and that, then a piece brought up closer to the camera. It’s very shiny and almost reflective.

Bottom left: A GIF slowly panning over a section of the Borobudur Temple in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is a warm gray/brown-ish series of brick structures and ruins piling up wide on bottom and rising narrower towards the top, almost in a pyramid-esque fashion.

Bottom middle: A GIF of somone wearing two glove pieces that make it look as though they’ve got dragon or reptile arms. They cover from the hands all up the forearms just below the elbow with fake, white claws. They brush back and forth on both arms to show how the bronze “scales” push back, showing that they’re black underneath.

Bottom right: The second of two GIFs from an Indonesian waterfall in Lombok. Several smaller strips of water fall in slow motion from a different section of greenery into a blue almost circle of water. End IDs.
