| Abstract Scope |
We will make a pattern welded damascus medieval dagger. A billet will be made by welding together alternating layers of 15N20 and 1080 steel. Groves will then be created along the billet to create a laddered random pattern. The bar will then be forged into the desired shape. Hardness testing and optical microscopy will be used between each heat-treating step to characterize how the hardness and microstructure changes. Further analysis using tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy will possibly be performed.
