kb0fhp Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) A very interesting article . on page 4 you have a picture of a composit patternwelded swirled blade paterna nd a discription of wootz paterning next to it .is that image soposed to be wootz ?as it is not wootz Good catch. Actually the caption indicates that it is a Damask Pattern. This picture was obtained from a website of S. Ranganathan, Honorary Professor & Senior Homi Bhabha Fellow, Department of Metallurgy, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560 012. INDIA. I have emailed him to verify the source of the picture - whether it is composite pattern welded blade, or something else. Scott Edited October 10, 2006 by kb0fhp D.

RKNichols Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hey, Scott, count my Kudos, too! When I presumed to be smart enough to teach college level courses in metallurgy and material science, I wandered into the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (Odessa TX) and found that for a new school it had an excellent collection of *COPIES* of old manuscripts. Several of them were on metallurgy and heat treating. I wish I had made some photo copies of the copies. Which is worse; ingnorance or apathy? Who knows? Who cares?
