Abstract

Seungja Chongtong is a small korean tubular arm that made by particular arm-making way imitating a chinese arm. This study organizes scientific analysis results with results of inscriptions reading of Seungja Chongtong in the Central museum of Kyunghee University. Three of Seungja Chongtongs are made with Cu-Sn-Pb ternary alloy which is not much differ in contents and the results of microstructure analysis of Seungja Chongtong 1 which could investigate a microstructure among the Chongtongs were found out that Seungja Chongtong is made by general casting, with no evidences of an additional heat-treatment and tempering. Furthermore, in results of lead isotope ratio analysis to find out a source of lead using during the production of Seungja Chongtong, It seems that Seungja Chongtong is made with a lead ore from northern Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and southern Gangwon-do Province called Korea southern zone 2 area.

승자총통은 중국 화기를 모방하여 선조(宣祖,1552-1608) 시기에 독자적인 화기 제작방식으로 만들어진 우리나라 유통식 소화기(小火器)이다. 이 연구는 경희대학교 중앙박물관 소장 승자총통을 중심으로 명문 판독 결과와 함께 과학분석 결과를 정리한 것이다. 경희대학교 중앙박물관에 소장하고 있는 승자총통 3점은 각 원소의 함량차이가 크지 않은 Cu-Sn-Pb 삼원계 합금으로 제작되었고 분석대상 중 미세조직 분석이 가능한 승자총통 1의 미세조직을 분석한 결과 일반적인 주조방식에 의해 제작되었으며 추가적인 열처리나 담금질 흔적은 관찰되지 않는다는 점이 밝혀졌다. 또한 승자총통 제작 시 사용한 납의 출처를 알아보고자 납동위원소비 분석을 실시한 결과 한국 남부 zone 2 지역(경상북도 북부와 강원도 남부지역)의 납광석을 사용하여 승자총통을 제작한 것으로 판단된다.
