UNL researchers
analyze Samurai
sword-making
By Beth Thew
Staff Reporter
What started out as three
sword enthusiasts who were ana
lyzing a 16th-century sword "just
for fun," wound up as a discovery
that could benefit modern tech
nology. Peter Bleed, UNL professor of
anthropology, Bill Weins profes
sor of mechanical engineering,
and Dan Gee, a graduate assist
ant in mechanical engineering,
decided to analyze four 16th
centuryJapanese Samurai swords
from Bleed s private collection to
determine the internal metal
lurgical structure in relation to
the strength and toughness of
the blade.
What they found was the spe
cial way the Japanese had made
the Samurai swords so that the
swords would be stronger and
not break easily. To do this, the
swords were made of smelted
iron, giving it a carbon cutting
edge and a steel interior. The
sword then was covered in an
insulating coating of clay that
allowed it to cool down gradu
ally. This produced a sword that
had a sharp cutting edge and
remained a blade strong enough
that it wouldn't break easily,
Bleed said.
Some cutting tools now are
made with a similar process, but
the Japanese process is still dif
ferent, Gee said.
"There was a lot of experi
menting in Japan during that
age because it was a matter of
life and death to them," said
Bleed, referring to how the Japa
nese came up with their sword

To Doug, working effectively for Nebraska's First District means knowing the people and
understanding the problems first-hand. That's why Doug spends an average of every second weekend
here in the district. Yet he is an active legislator and maintains one of the highest voting records in
Congress, over 98.
He's brought more federal money back to Nebraska than any First District congressman in
history. Today, he's one of the leaders for fair trade, increased
exports, more jobs for Americans, and addressing the
problems facing agriculture.
Doug Bereuter is our experienced and effective
voice in the U.S. House of Representatives. Let's keep
his seniority working for all of us.
