Discover the history, processes, tools, and products of the blacksmithing craft. A blacksmith is a person who is also regarded as a metalsmith. This person produces different types of metallic products by forging a wrought iron or steel. A blacksmith is known to apply his tools to hammer, bend, and cut metals into desired shapes and objects. Most of the products of the blacksmithing profession are related to metal parts. Some of them include gates, doors, tools, agricultural machinery, weapons, sculptures, railings, and so on.
The history of this art dates back to the period before the Iron Age. However, it has advanced through the Iron Age through to the medieval era, the industrial period, and currently, the 20th and 21st centuries. Over these periods, the art of blacksmithing has witnessed tremendous growth and advanced into a technological phase. Blacksmiths are experts in the art of metalworking as compared to other wheelwrights, farriers, and armorers. They have a profound and vast knowledge of how to handle and work on different metallic components to create different types of products. From complex equipment such as armories and weapons to basic instruments like nails and chains. Most of these blacksmiths are able to put in work and produce these incredible products because they have concrete knowledge of metallurgy.
Metallurgy is a branch of materials science and engineering that specializes on the properties – chemical and physical – of metallic elements, alloys, and their intermetallic compounds. Discover the processes that are involved in the art of blacksmithing, which includes forging, bending, upsetting, welding, and finishing. It is also important to note the type of heat treatment that is suitable for each metal and the temperature for each of the blacksmithing process. This collection has all the vital information that relates to blacksmithing.
