Is the smokeless powder steel and damascus the same?
No. "Smokeless powder steel" or fluid steel, or other terms, mean modern, billet steel.
Damascus, twist, or welded barrels are made of forge-welded twisted wire and rods.
There are potential weak spots in the twists, and over time, burning propellant and corrosive residue eat at the gaps and make them more prominent. Eventually, the barrel will fail.
Damascus barrels are only safe with custom black powder loaded cartridges within their pressure limits, NOT with modern ammunition. There is a strong risk of a chamber explosion.
