Metallurgists have puzzled for several centuries as to how the unique patterns on the ancient Damascus blades were formed. Using a modern metallurgical computational software package, the relevant ...

I hope I got that right. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a pirate movie but talk of Damascus steel meant that I had to have at least one movie pirate-type phrase in this piece. I first came ...

It has been revealed that the structure of the transverse and longitudinal parts of the genuine Damascus knife of the XVIII century consists of troostite-carbide of the banding. The microhardness of ...

Scandinavian metallurgists recreate legendary damascene-patterned steels from atomized metal powders. Damascene steel is an advanced form of blacksmithing recognizable by the decorative pattern on the ...

ABSTRACT: The methods of spectral, x-ray phase and microprobe analysis show that genuine Damascus steel is a high-purity unalloyed high-carbon steel with a high phosphorus content. It is shown that ...

In this video, a simple Damascus pattern is faked on steel, demonstrating that the process can be easily accomplished. It emphasizes the importance of researching brands and reviews when choosing ...
