Microstructural characterization of two Koto age Japanese swords

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Two Japanese long blades of the Ancient Sword (Koto) age have been analysed through time of flight neutrondiffraction. This technique allows the determination of several microstructural properties on different sizegauge volumes. The results of the experiment provided a quantitative multiphase characterization of the steelcomposition of the blades and the determination of peculiar properties of the material, such as the texture,the strain level and the grain size of the crystallites.
