Subayai Kitsune Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Are there any resources out there about the metallurgy of Japanese sword making? I’m really interested in data such as the rate of change of temperature during yakiire across the blade width (under the different thickness of yakibatsuchi) especially at the nioiguchi, rate of nie crystal formation of different sizes etc. The more technical the better 🤓 Surely this stuff has been investigated and published by metallurgists?
