Internal Metallurgical Features
Radiography exposed weld seams, forging folds, and hidden corrosion. These internal features helped classify hooks by manufacturing technique.
Tool Function
The scans showed differences between fishing hooks and cargo-handling hooks.
Corrosion Mapping
Radiography revealed corrosion pockets that guided conservation strategies.
Preservation Impact
Radiography allowed researchers to study hooks without removing corrosion layers.
