Abstract
Made few centuries ago, the technology behind Damascus steel and its fine ingredients remain still a mystery. T he birth of modern metallurgy was catalysed by Damascus steel. It has a high strength in terms of yield stress and ultimate tensile strength. It can be identified by the unique surface texture due to combination of metals with different carbon percentages. Even though the appearance was reconstructed with reasonable physical properties, features such as existence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes make it unique compared to modern day replications.
