In this study, metallurgical microscope, scanning electron microscope in combination with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS), Raman spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to analyze the craft, alloy composition and corrosion products of the Warring States bronze vessel "Fu" excavated from Pujiang county, Chengdu city of China (the Warring States period lasts from 475 BC to 221 BC). The results showed that the bronzes were casted and made of lead-tin bronze, the content of tin and lead were relatively high. The corrosion products of the bronzes are mainly cassiterite, malachite, hematite and lead ore. This article provides a scientific basis for the study of ancient bronze culture and for the conservation of such cultural relics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
