Restoration of Antique Church Bells: A Case Study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
A 17th century bell, from Santuario-Mapethe (Mexico) was restored by using welding techniques. The work included the acoustical characterization of the bell before and after the actual welding as well as the analysis of the composition of the alloy originally employed, so a material as similar as possible to the original would be employed for the restoration. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods are discussed.
