Abstract:
It is the study of very typical microstructures that appear in steel parts with their corpse cremated, between Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula. Through analysis we can deduce like the temperatures reached in these funeral rites, the cooling rates of the funeral pyre and thermodynamic processes operating in steel parts during the rite and which these structures result.
