Abstract
THREE years ago Col. N. T. Belaiew presented to the Iron and Steel Institute the results of a very careful study of the general properties and structure of Damascene steel, and pointed out the great claims it had to the attention of all those interested in tool steel. He has now contributed a second paper, entitled “Damascene Steel,” to the proceedings of the institute, September, 1921, in which an endeavour is made to substantiate this statement, especially as regards high-speed steels. In his view a marked analogy exists in the structure and also in some of the properties of both types of steel, and a Comparative study, therefore, will probably prove beneficial in explaining the properties of these materials and improving the qualities of existing rapid-cutting tools.
