Damascus and pattern-welded steels [ Livre] : forging blades since the iron age / Madeleine Durand-Charre
Traduction de: Les aciers damassés : du fer primitif aux aciers modernesLangue : anglais ; de l'oeuvre originale, français.Publication : [Les Ulis] : EDP sciences, DL 2014, 01-Péronnas : Imprimerie SEPECDescription : 1 volume de IV-214 pages : illustré en noir et en couleur, couverture illustrée en couleur ; 24 cmISBN : 9782759811731.Collection: Metallurgy, MaterialsDewey : 672.309, 23Classification : Résumé : Damacus steel was developed in the first millennium AD in India or Sri-Lanka. Its reputation is related to its exceptional properties and also to the moire pattern. A similar damask pattern could be obtained by forge-welding giving rise to controversies. Recent findings allow a better understanding of this pattern formation, and revealed the secret of sophisticated forgings. This book presents in a first part, observations of ancient blade samples examined with modern technologies such as electron microscopy. The characteristic features of many typical swords from different periods are discussed: Celtic, Merovingian, Viking and oriental wootz swords, Persian shamshirs, Japanese katana, rapiers etc. In the second part, microstructural observations at different levels of magnification are discussed. A specific chapter introduces the main transformations undergone by these steels during the forging processes.Sujet - Nom commun: 823| Type de document | Site actuel | Cote | Statut | Notes | Date de retour prévue |

Damacus steel was developed in the first millennium AD in India or Sri-Lanka. Its reputation is related to its exceptional properties and also to the moire pattern. A similar damask pattern could be obtained by forge-welding giving rise to controversies. Recent findings allow a better understanding of this pattern formation, and revealed the secret of sophisticated forgings. This book presents in a first part, observations of ancient blade samples examined with modern technologies such as electron microscopy.
The characteristic features of many typical swords from different periods are discussed: Celtic, Merovingian, Viking and oriental wootz swords, Persian shamshirs, Japanese katana, rapiers etc. In the second part, microstructural observations at different levels of magnification are discussed.
