| Abstract | ||
| When a textile comes into contact with metal surface such as iron, Metal starts to corrode very quickly in the presence of damp, oxygen and the increasing of acidity conditions. Corrosion products start to form on the metal surface around the textile fibres which contact with it. Through short time, a reaction between iron ions and textile will be happened, which cause deterioration in textile. The textile degrades due of the oxidation process, hydrolysis and acid accumulates, and its symptoms include loss of strength and brittleness. This study focus on the effect of iron corrosion on the linen and wool textiles. The methods of investigation were used, tensile strength and elongation of all samples. They were carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of samples. Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with EDAX (SEM–EDAX) was used for identifying the fibers deterioration. EDAX was also used to identify the types of corrosion presence and thus, for understanding deterioration. The degradation of the textile samples has been detected by infrared spectroscopy (IR). | ||
