Abstrakt: Based on the fascinating legends and excellent properties of Damascene blades, the study of Damascus steel provided the opportunity to observe in detail the laborious process of manufacturing this material, which involves forging and welding different layers of steel to obtain a particularly strong and durable final product. To carry out this research, high-quality materials were selected from a catalog of steels, with a particular focus on achieving the best results. In this case, two types of steel were chosen to create genuine Damascus steel: AISI 1095 and 15N20 steel. Both materials have been selected for their individual properties, such as strength and durability, which contribute to the ultimate quality of Damascus steel. This rigorous selection of materials ensured a high-quality and authentic product. Additional studies, such as finite element analysis and strength of materials, were conducted to understand and evaluate the behaviour of Damascus steel under various scenarios and loadings. Processing and laboratory tests were carried out on the obtained Damascus steel to evaluate its mechanical properties, including the processing of the results using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2023 and simulation in Ansys 2023.
