To create damascene patterned steels using RSP requires that two powder grades be carefully placed into the steel capsules in a laminated or mosaic pattern cross section. Most modern steels can be used to create RSP Damascus. The choice of components is based on the following principles:
Chemical composition of both components must correspond to standard industry-grade steels. Machining qualities and heat treatment for each alloy must also be similar.
The easily diffusible elements, carbon and nitrogen, must not be accumulated in one of the steels. Both steels must have the same carbon-nitrogen potentials in all hotworking temperatures. Otherwise the properties will vary out of control.
The transformation temperatures must be similar. If the components harden at different temperatures there is a risk of deformations and dimensional errors.
The deformation stresses at forging must be similar. Differences too large result in increased hardness and cracks.
Alloy chemistry must differ so each alloy responds differently to the etching bath. One alloy must have galvanic protection from the other metal.
The best combinations of RSP alloys for many applications (hunting and cutlery knives, jewelry, decorative iron-work, gun-receiver hardware, golf putters, axes, and door handles) include 936 martensitic stainless-steel and 958 austenitic stainless-steel Series.
The 936 Series is made from RWL 34 (1.05% C, 14% Cr, 4% Mo and 0.2% V) and PMC 27 (0.6% C and 13.5 Cr) alloys. This RSP damascene steel can be hardened to a maximum of 3HRC over conventional steels without losing toughness (measured as fracture energy in both compressive and bed loaded edge). The material is, however, sensitive to overheating when forged at 1,920 to 2,120°F. That's because the material starts to melt at 2,230°F.
Electrical or gas-fired furnaces are recommended to better control forging temperatures. Compared to normal lowalloy carbon steels, the martensitic RSP stainless steels have higher, almost double deformation stresses. Hand forging must, therefore, take place on relatively small dimensions. Long heating times can also damage the material because of decarburization and scale formation. And slow cooling after hot working prevents crack formation at the martensitic formation temperature (400°F). Because of the cracking risk, no cutting or machining should be done after hot working until the material is annealed for 5 hr at 1,380 to 1,440°F.
Austenitic 958 damascene steel is an alternative to silver. It has good corrosion resistance and is made from two nonhardenable steel grades (316L and 304L) welded together in more than 100 layers. Typical applications include table cutlery, jewelry, and decorative ironwork.
For damascene-steel gun barrels there are two series. The first, 926, are low-alloy hardenable (300 and 400 HRB) carbon steels made from AISI 4140 (0.4% C, 1% CR, and 0.2% Mo) and AISI 4340 (0.4% C, 1% Cr, 0.2% Mo, and 0.2% Ni) alloys. They are designed for bluing and browning operations. The second, 968, are hardenable (300 and 400 HRB) stainless steels made from AISI 416 (0.22% C, 13% CR, and 0.2% S) and AISI 431 (0.23% C, 16% Cr, and 3% Ni) alloys that work well for etched-pattern designs.
