Abstract

Although iron ore could be found in several sources of Thailand, the trace of civilization
of iron ore utilization was found at the source of iron ore in Ban Nam Phi located at Thong Saen Khan District in Uttaradit Province, whereas, Nam Phi steel has been smelted since the past to present. In addition, there were some traces found from an old kiln that was built for over 100 years and found at Ban Nam Phi that such method was the traditional local wisdom of villagers started from mining to ore dressing, ore smelting, ore forming by forging, and producing products that are the uniqueness of Nam Phi Ironsmith Family that is still produced in the local area. Such process was the production of products made of Nam Phi steel with methodology, process, and forming of smelted Nam Phi steel as products. To study on this type of steel, scholars have conducted field studies in the area of Ban Nam Phi in order to test Nam Phi steel with engineering methodology. Consequently, we could perceive inheritance of characteristics of excellent and sustainable steel production of Thailand. Local wisdom of ironsmith and scientific testing used in the research enabled us to perceive quality of Nam Phi iron ore while ore smelting and engineering testing enabled us to perceive properties of good Nam Phi steel from the past to present.
