Hey all, hopefully I am not opening a can of worms here like I did when I asked about Timascus
But anyway, here it goes. I want to know how people make SS Damascus. Does it have to be done in a "can" or is there a "magic flux" that gets the SS to weld to each other?
Is there any real advantage to making SS Damascus? Yeah, I know, that is a loaded question, but I still want to hear some answers.
What alloys are used to get the contrasting colors?
If you all have some insight on this, i would appreciate your input.
Maybe I will try making some, heck that would give me a great excuse to get some cyro equipment.
