Abstract Scope |
This study examines the mechanical response and microstructure evolution in multiple samples of modern manufactured high carbon Pattern Welded Damascus Steel. The characterisation efforts of the Damascus samples include quasi-static and dynamic compression testing, optical microscopy, ultrasonic sound speed measurements, and Vickers hardness. Initial ultrasonic and density testing confirm that the Damascus samples are similar to their parent materials: 1095 and 15N20 plain high carbon steels. The results from the quasi-static compression testing show that the yield strength of the materials is comparable to that of carbon steel (400-500MPa) and display similar strain hardening properties. The compression results also display a slightly higher Young’s Modulus for samples with layer orientation perpendicular to the uniaxial load than those with layer orientation of approximately 45 degrees to the uniaxial load. Dynamic testing using a Split Hopkinson Bar and post-mortem characterisation is ongoing, and the most important findings will be presented. |
