Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean Traditional Granulation which had reached its climax in the Three Kingdoms of Korea but is not currently being used. Before the research, this study contemplates about name and meaning of the technique, which has undefined in Korea and made it difficult to build a basis for the study. This study standardizes the name of technique as granulation and defines it as an independent metal craft technique which makes granules with gold, silver, copper or alloy of them and binds metals by using Eutectic Soldering. The subject of this study is advanced production process of our Granulation Technique and the method of this study is analyzing and organizing of demonstration of Kim Young Chang, a head of Granulation Laboratory, who reenacts process and technique as relics of Silla. Granulation was conveyed from western cultural area to Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla along the Silk Road. Therefore, this study analyzed the principle and technical process of western Granulation, which is covered in detail in Chapter 4. Granulation refers to the specific binding process in which adheres a granule to a metal surface. It is also known as Eutectic Soldering, one that has distinctly divided adhesive surface between grain and metal surface so it has been exceptional technique for delicate description. Analysis result of demonstration of Kim Young Chang, now remanent in Korea, show our Granulation was from western but developed of its own, like production of copper compound in Korean way and invention of special additive, also validate our granulation is remarkable. It is expected to be a sustainable subject of research as an independent Korean metal craft technique that combines with modern metal craft.
