Chemist learned the secrets of Valyrian steel, which is forged blades known in the universe of the television series. The plot of the secret of production was lost. The blades of this material in the story of the television series "Game of thrones", based on the book series "a Song of ice and fire", distinguished by the sharpness and strength. According to the legend, antique blacksmith melted the alloy in the dragon's fire, after this he was filled with magical qualities with the help of spells. But then the secret of production of the alloy was lost. Expert on materials Ryan Consell filled this gap. He learned what materials directly required for the production of the blade. A detailed study he published in his blog, also took the video. To start Consell reminded that steel is an alloy of iron with carbon. The impurities make the metal strong and at the same time more brittle, in consequence of this alloy can be obtained only by trial and error. About evidence and description of the sword in the novel. Color Valyrian steel was grey, but on the surface she could see the ornament in the form of wavy streaks which have arisen in consequence of the fact that the blade was reforged several thousand times. However, as recognized Consell, it only harms became the result of accidental contact with surrounding materials - sand, soot or oxides. Consell came to spontaneous withdrawal. It turns out the plot of the book Valyrian blade was reforged for 2 new products. The chemist reports that in such a case, would the weapon would have lost the entire multilayer structure and its own unique characteristics. Consequently, high Valyrian steel is not really stainless steel. But alloy sword similar to the composites with metal matrix is a modern supermaterial alloy and ceramics. All the characteristics of Valyrian steel fits silicocarbide titanium. Production is made on the most modern equipment, but in the novel this is possible with the help of magic, the expert concluded. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cHRcGoje4j4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
