Then one forge out and fold the piece repeatedly until one gets over one hundred layers in their piece.

During the gas atomization process, molten steel is atomized by inert gas jets into fine metal droplets, which cool down during their decent in the atomizing tower. Metal powders obtained by gas-atomization offer a perfectly spherical shape combined with a high level of cleanliness. After the atomization process, powders are collected in a capsule, which is sealed and then compacted by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). HIP is a process to densify gas-atomized metal powders, through the combination of high gas pressure and high temperature. The HIP process takes place in a HIP furnace where the gas pressure acts uniformly in all directions, hence providing isostatic properties and 100% densification. The semi-finished capsule is then further processed by forging and rolling into suitable dimensions for the required patterning process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattering options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the rolling or forging the patterns are finished off by either twisting and\/or coining and will be visible after etching.
