Pattern welding is a traditional method of forging and shaping metal, particularly steel, that involves layering different types of iron and steel to create a distinctive, visually appealing pattern. This technique has historical significance and is most famously associated with the creation of beautiful and functional blades for weapons, such as swords and axes, particularly in the Viking Age and the production of Damascus steel. The process involves welding together multiple bars of ferrous metals with varying carbon content and properties.
