The Damascus steel is a steel made of multiple layers forged together. The aim of the
Damascus steel is to improve the properties of steel. A piece of whole steel is forged and lengthen into a longer piece of steel that is then folded and forged again in one piece. By repeating this process several times, it creates layers. This manufacturing process has two main benefits: Imperfections and impurity inside the steel are spread out through the piece which eliminates any weak points. The crystal structure of the steel if also improved by this manufacturing process which prevent from premature damages. Through this process, the steel is heated in a blaze where it incorporates carbons from the fire. Then by folding and forging it several times, carbons spread out through the steel which makes it harder.
