| Research Abstract |
In the ancient East Asia, the techniques of refinement of iron consist of two ways. It depends on the difference of the methodof iron manufacture and steel making between China and Korea, Japan. In ancient China, before 6th century B.C. at least pig iron was made by advanced iron making furnacewith high temperature of over 1000℃. On the other hand in ancient Korea, Japan, wrought iron was made at first by small-scale cylindrical furnace with low temperature of about 1000℃, though in Korea pig iron was made in the first century A.D. andin 9～10th century A.D. in Japan. But the method of steel making entirely differedbetween China and others. In the case of former the innovation of reverberator and heat treatment brought the advanced technique of refinement iron of convertingfrom pig iron to steel. The later stayed the backward stage of steel making by the technique of “oroshi” by using cylindrical furnace. In the ancient East Asia the method of steel making had obvious difference between China and Korea, Japan, though it was spread from China to Korea, Japan.
