AbstractDamascus steels are produced by traditional methods and mostly used in the construction of decorative tools. This study aims to investigate wear and mechanical behaviors of damuscus steels which are exposed different forging type. Wear tests were applied for two different category of samples under the loads of 30N and 40N. In addition to wear tests, tensile test was carried out to understand the influence of forging type on mechanical behavior in this quality steel. Results show that, wear performances are changed with forging process and best wear resistance could be seen under loads of 30N for all samples.
