Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to find out the effects on metal corrosion of 2 types of tree, 7 typesof wood based products and 4 types of cement that is currently being used as internal museum materials.By using the Oddy test as a corrosion test, with the materials that are used in the museum and the metaltest pieces(Gilding, Silver, Iron, Bronze, Copper) are exposed in a high temperature( 60℃ ) and humidity for28 days. After 28 days, we compare and analysis the difference between the metal test piece that was usedbefore and after the test. We found that gilding and bronze did not occur corrosions on the surface butiron(Fe)and copper(Cu) also silver(Ag) had corrosions on the surface in different forms.
