摘要
The long-lasting search for the recipes of making the legendary Damascus swords may become a new direction by our finding that a genuine Damascus sabre contains a high density of cementite nanowires, which interact with dislocations and which might have influenced the nucleation of perlite. The nanohardness as measured separately for cementite and perlite indicated striking differences in the inelastic behaviour of those phases. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
