Damascus or pattern welded steel consists of two or more types of steel layered and heated up to forge welding temperatures and then squished together causing the atoms to stick together forming a singular bar of steel.
In this bar of steel we have stainless steel layered steel as a cladding and a core steel (a VG10 steel equivalent 10Cr15MoV) The core steel is ~0.8mm of hardened steel in the centre.
