This chapter deals with the description of suitable and innovative solution devoted to preserve metallic artefacts in their original contexts, underwater cultural heritage sites of archaeological and historical interest, as well as with the analysis of the degradation processes of ferrous and non-ferrous artefacts induced by contact with the aggressive environment such as sea water. The chapter also provides an overview of the most common conservation strategies applied to recovered artefacts.
