Blades from the occupiers' tank cannon.
Ғылым және технология
I make blades from the cannon of a tank of the army of occupiers. The resulting hardness is 57 Rockwell. To obtain a damask pattern, forging was used to stimulate the upward diffusion of carbon. See how the etching mask appeared at the link: • Video

On my patreon page, I began to explain the processes and secrets of my work. Topics already covered:
1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.
10. In what liquid do I develop the pattern on the blade.

The absolute beauty of these blades really gives a sense of your dedication and your experience in this trade, also the hacksawing through the barrel was just amazing
These are amazing! And the fact you made them from the barrel of an occupiers tank makes them even sweeter ! I think we all give a sigh of relief when you post.... We're all praying for you, your countrymen, and your heroes fighting the fight... 🙏🙏🙏
Took a great effort to harvest that steel... Even harder to forge it, I imagine. Looks deceivingly simple. Such masterpieces. May you and your family remain safe. May the conflicet end, and peave return.
I've never seen you do that masking technique before and this was a hell of a first showing. Amazing work and a powerful statement.

Amazing work as always, Dmitry. Good to see you still forging away despite circumstances. God Bless you and your family, may He keep you safe.
Man these are freakin awesome. Im guessing the barrel is a mix of different metals, thats why it has a Damascus pattern? Very cool, and you have plenty left. Stay safe bud and God bless you all.

The description of the video explains how he got the pattern. It says it was created by causing diffusion of carbon into the surface of the steel through the forging process. I am not familiar with the technique, but but I do know that metal was a single alloy, so this is not a Damascus, just a carbon diffusion pattern on the surface of the steel.
@HalcyonSkies
10 ай бұрын
Yeah they have to be made of the same alloy otherwise it would be a risk to the tank crew. Different metals obviously react to pressure and heat differently, so if they were to use different metals it could result in damage to the barrel when firing, either rendering it inoperable (bad in a combat situation) or it could explode and injure or kill the crew (worse in any situation).
@stevealford230

@@KnightsWithoutATable No, that is "real" Damascus; the modern faux Damascus you're thinking of is a way to simulate the look by pattern-welding different alloys. Traditionally, Damascus is a crucible steel that has a high Vanadium content, which creates nucleation sites that create Carbon nanotubes, and if forged correctly causes those random wavy patterns from Carbon nanotube nucleation sites to become visible after fine polishing and etching. Traditional Damascus is highly prized for making gun barrels and cannons, hence why Russia still uses it for that purpose in tanks. He didn't cause diffusion of the Carbon: he forged in a manner that doesn't destroy the Carbon diffusion that was already there, then revealed it (most smiths will accidentally destroy the beauty of real Damascus by forging it as if it were any other alloy).
@nerd1000ify

The gun barrel is likely a vacuum remelted or electro-slag refined steel, very homogeneous and with very low levels of impurities. Such highly refined steel is desirable for both withstanding the stress of firing and ensuring that the barrel doesn't warp when it gets hot after repeated shots.
@KnightsWithoutATable
10 ай бұрын
@nerd1000ify Keep in mind that the barrel was off of a T-72 made in the Soviet Union. They were made cheap and in large numbers. It was most likely hot rolled steel, drilled, bored to near final size, hardened, tempered, then bored to final size. Nothing fancy, just a lot of heating and cooling.
Those are absolutely beautiful blades, and I'm glad to see you're still safe!
Impressive work as always. I didn’t expect to see a pattern in the steel. That was a nice surprise.
