No. Damascus steel is made by forging multiple layers of thin steel. The process involves a lot of heat and pressure, and the result is like a single piece of steel of high strength. The properties are generally better than what can be had by bonding multiple layers together in a lamination.

The superior strengh of damascus steel is produced by two layers of steel with different properties and forging them together, once this is done forging is continued by folding the two steels over and forging them again. This is continued until the layers produced give it the qualities required.

Fold two pieces of paper you get 4 layers

fold 4 gives 8 fold agin 16 fold again 32 etc. This is possible with steel because of the forgig but couldn't be done with paper, try it.

Why air coil with soft iron core inductance is greater then air coil laminated steel core?

Soft iron has a greater permeability than steel. BTW, the only reason for laminations is to reduce eddy currents in the core. It has no effect on permeability or inductance.


What is the history of a shotgun marked Belgium Excelsior Damascus Magnum Laminated Steel and the numbers 37801 and 40973?

Excelsior double barrel shotguns were made by various Belgian manufacturers c. 1890 - 1914 and I doubt if you will ever be able to identify the exact maker. The crown over the oval ELG indicates it was proofed for black powder after 1893. Damascus is one form of laminated steel, usually considered the best of this type construction, so if it were truly damascus, it would probably be marked as such. 18.0 would be the gauge, I believe that would be a full-choked 12 ga barrel. I doubt if the word below Excelsior would be "Magnum." I don't think that term would have been used for shotgun loads in that time period. Is it possible that it is the remnant of "Machine Made?" The numbers that look like serial numbers MAY actually be serial numbers, but there are no records available that would allow us assign a date of manufacture from them. More likely they are batch numbers or part numbers which could appear on many different guns. The "*M" appearing on the barrels and action are probably assembly marks to indicate that these were "fitted" (parts were not fully interchangeable in those days) and the "Y" possibly the worker who did the final fitting.


Are a36 and tool steel the same?

No, A36 is a mild structural steel and tool steel is a high strength alloy steel


What is heavier a steel beam or concrete beam?

Steel is heavier than concrete for the same volume, however steel buildings are generally lighter. This is because steel buildings utilize high strength of steel, so volume of steel in steel buildings is much smaller than volume of concrete in concrete buildings. In another words in steel buildings much less volume of material is needed for the same strength compared to concrete buildings.


Is stainless steel bulletproof?

Not at all it has about the same strength as normal steel (by thickness and weight); it just does not rust (or as quickly) due to the addition of Nickle to the steel.

When were Lefever shotgun barrels made of steel?

they were made out of steel in 1885 They were all made with steel barrels. The earliest, by Lefever & Barber Co in 1874-75 were damascus or laminated steel. Fluid steel barrels would have been introduced about 1900.


Info on daminated-steel Belgium double barrel shotgun?

I have the same. It reads Daminated Steel on the rib. It has Belgian makers marks with the gunsmith mark being a crown over JJ. Very little info available but it was a play on Damascus and Laminated. Probably ill advised to fire it.


How do you telll a damascus shoyun barrel?

You will notice many small lines,circular lines through the steel. Damascus is actually laminated steel which could accept the much lighter pressure made by black powder shot shells. If the fine lines are visible in an area where the steel is lightly worn, then the barrel is likely damascus. If the lines are not visible, it is possibly "fluid" steel, meaning that it's not damascus. Up until early in the 20th century, gun manufacturers attempted to duplicate the appearance of damascus on what were stronger barrels. In either case, do not shoot the gun until you have had a gunsmith check it out.

Is Krupp Fluid Steel barrel a damascus steel barrel?

No, Krupp Fluid Steel is not damascus steel. Krupp Fluid Steel is a type of steel known for its durability and strength, while damascus steel is a type of steel characterized by its unique patterns created by folding and welding different types of steel together.


Is there brass damascus?

I might be way off here but I guess you are talking about in relation to Damascus Steel? This is a form of steel made in Persia and north India and traded westwards. It was most often bought by Europeans in Damascus in modern day Syria so the name comes from there. Damascus Brass by extension would be super pure strong brass from Damascus. In short there isn't such a thing as "Damascus brass" in the same way as Steel. However Brass objects made in such a way as to mimic the "watered" appearance of Damascus Steel might be named as such or indeed anything made in Syria of brass could be called such. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I concur.


What are laminated steel parts designed for?

Strength.


What is a damascus or twisted barrel?

A damascus barrel is a barrel made of damascus steel, which is steel produced by hammering two different steels together. The twist refers to the pieces of steel being twisted while they are hammered, which produces the distinctive pattern on the steel.

Is Damascus steel stronger than 1095 carbin steel?

No. Original damascus was made in a attempt to make steel more homogeneous as steel used to be difficult to obtain. Modern damascus is done for cosmetic purposes and has no advantage over modern manufactured steels besides value.
