Additional information

The Russian term is "bulat" steel and to bulat is related the understanding of steel with high elastic and cutting properties, for which a unique microstructure, a patterned surface, is characteristic. To it was imparted special value and it was assumed to be a compulsory component of damask steel. The word "bulat" is of Iranian origin (pulad).

In the modern understanding steel is a material with a certain chemical composition and damask steel does not fit under it.

This article describes one of the methods of production of so-called damask steel. To determine the possibility of its use for modern mechanized production of steel additional consideration of this question is necessary. A more detailed description of the properties of steel produced by the proposed method is also important. (Editor's note).
