Alloy

An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described.

See Laminated steel blade and Alloy

Bloomery

A bloomery is a type of metallurgical furnace once used widely for smelting iron from its oxides.

See Laminated steel blade and Bloomery

Carbon

Carbon is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6.

See Laminated steel blade and Carbon

Carburizing

Carburizing, or carburising, is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon while the metal is heated in the presence of a carbon-bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide.

See Laminated steel blade and Carburizing

Case-hardening

Case-hardening or carburization is the process of introducing carbon to the surface of a low carbon iron or much more commonly low carbon steel object in order to enable the surface to be hardened.

See Laminated steel blade and Case-hardening

Damascus steel

Damascus steel (Arabic: فولاذ دمشقي) is the forged steel of the blades of swords smithed in the Near East from ingots of carbon steel imported from Southern India or made in production centers in Sri Lanka or Khorasan, Iran.

See Laminated steel blade and Damascus steel

Direct reduced iron

Direct reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) into iron by a reducing gas which contains elemental carbon (produced from natural gas or coal) and/or hydrogen.

See Laminated steel blade and Direct reduced iron

Forge

A forge is a type of hearth used for heating metals, or the workplace (smithy) where such a hearth is located.

See Laminated steel blade and Forge

Iron

Iron is a chemical element.

See Laminated steel blade and Iron

Iron oxide

Iron oxides are chemical compounds composed of iron and oxygen.

See Laminated steel blade and Iron oxide

Japanese swordsmithing

Japanese swordsmithing is the labour-intensive bladesmithing process developed in Japan beginning in the sixth century for forging traditionally made bladed weapons (''nihonto'') including katana, wakizashi, tantō, yari, naginata, nagamaki, tachi, nodachi, ōdachi, kodachi, and ''ya'' (arrow).

See Laminated steel blade and Japanese swordsmithing

Katana

A is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Laminated steel blade and Katana are blade weapons.

See Laminated steel blade and Katana

Knife

A knife (knives; from Old Norse knifr 'knife, dirk') is a tool or weapon with a cutting edge or blade, usually attached to a handle or hilt.

See Laminated steel blade and Knife

Lamination

μCT scanning) through the length of a knitting needle that consists of laminated wooden layers: the layers can be differentiated by the change of direction of the wood's vessels Shattered windshield lamination keeps shards in place Laminate flooring A flexible thin-film solar cell for aerospace use (2007) Lamination is the technique/process of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance, or other properties from the use of the differing materials, such as plastic.

See Laminated steel blade and Lamination

Mokume-gane

is a Japanese metalworking procedure which produces a mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns; the term is also used to refer to the resulting laminate itself.

See Laminated steel blade and Mokume-gane

Ore

Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals concentrated above background levels, typically containing metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit.

See Laminated steel blade and Ore

Pattern welding

Pattern welding is the practice in sword and knife making of forming a blade of several metal pieces of differing composition that are forge-welded together and twisted and manipulated to form a pattern. Laminated steel blade and pattern welding are blade weapons.

See Laminated steel blade and Pattern welding

Redox

Redox (reduction–oxidation or oxidation–reduction) is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of the reactants change.

See Laminated steel blade and Redox

Smelting

Smelting is a process of applying heat and a chemical reducing agent to an ore to extract a desired base metal product.

See Laminated steel blade and Smelting

Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.

See Laminated steel blade and Steel

Sword

A sword is an edged, bladed weapon intended for manual cutting or thrusting. Laminated steel blade and sword are blade weapons.

See Laminated steel blade and Sword

Toledo steel

Toledo steel, historically known for being unusually hard, is from Toledo, Spain, which has been a traditional sword-making, metal-working center since about the Roman period, and came to the attention of Rome when used by Hannibal in the Punic Wars.

See Laminated steel blade and Toledo steel

A tool is an object that can extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment or help them accomplish a particular task.

See Laminated steel blade and Tool

Vikings

Vikings were seafaring people originally from Scandinavia (present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), who from the late 8th to the late 11th centuries raided, pirated, traded, and settled throughout parts of Europe.

See Laminated steel blade and Vikings

Wrought iron

Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%).
