Folded and Damascus steels are not stainless, so yes; if not maintained, will rust.
.... in theory the same as not folded steel.
Yes, steel can be folded. This is a common practice in the production of "damascus" or pattern welded steel.
It can be. It is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to rust." Examples: Rusted steel is not as strong as the original steel. The Tin Man's joints were rusted, so he could not move.
Nowhere. Stop believing movies are real. Folding modern steel doesn't make it better, anyway. 16th-century steel sucked and it was folded to make it suck less.
Folding steel accomplishes nothing, anymore.
because its protect it from get rusted. idoit
This is not pure iron but a special steel.
A wire brush or steel wool.
Rusted steel wool is usually slightly heavier than regular steel wool of the same size due to the presence of iron oxide (rust) that adds weight to the material. Rusted steel wool may also be denser and more compact compared to regular steel wool because of the rust formation.
it is always best to use high quality steel in making blades but if you only have rusty or low grade steel you can heat and beat the impurity's out of the steel
probally if not to bad rusted with a wire brush if really bad rusted use a wire brush hand grinder wheel that is what helps me in when i have to weld rusty metal
The number of times Damascus steel is folded can vary widely depending on the desired characteristics of the final blade. Traditionally, it could be folded anywhere from 5 to 50 times, with each fold multiplying the layers of steel and creating unique patterns. However, modern blacksmiths may choose to fold it more or fewer times based on specific techniques or desired results. Ultimately, the folding process enhances the steel's strength and aesthetic appeal.
