I am not referring to forging, I am referring to tempering, heat tempering. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. Here is a simple explanation of heat tempered swords. This explanation also describes how to avoid brittleness while achieving hardness during heat tempering.http://www.strongblade.com/prod/pop_tempered.html

Look up Japanese sword making. Their swords are forged and
The applied heat is necessary to weld the folds. It is the many layers of high carbon steel alternating with low carbon steel which gives the sword its resilience and the sharp edge.
I do not believe you understand the process and seem rather desperate to salvage your obvious error and misunderstanding.
Nt
Language for you? It would explain a lot since it was YOU who used the example of Japanese swords.
LOL !!!!!
Unfortunately your mind is not. I used the Japanese sword making as an example of heat tempering. Then you went off the deep end with all the irrelevant forging nonsense.
You simply used a horribly poor example. Get over it.
Japanese swords was actually an excellent example of what I was trying to say about heat tempering and hardness and brittleness. Your efforts to recover your composure after bobbling the ball are duly noted.
Desperate aren't you. You think that simply repeating your errors will convince others that it is true. LOL !!!!!!!!!
All they need to do is to google Japanese swords, tempering temperatures and forging, to know your errors, as you do not seem to understand the differences. In addition, there are numerous books written about the subject exploring the process and metallurgy involved in making Japanese blades.
There is a fundamental difference why Japanese swords were much superior to the tempered blades of the middle ages, even of the famous Damascus steels ( carbonized steel by thrusting the red hot blade into the body of a slave, originally). You'll have to read up though, although I do understand that may be difficult for you to comprehend ( at least by your current comments). Most readers of AA are NOT illiterate and do know their way round the 'net....
Sheesh..........
