日本刀一直被认为是非常有趣的物品，无论是从风格的角度来看，还是他们独特的表现。令人惊讶的是，半经验方法的测试和尝试过程导致了日本刀片的优化，这是一个近乎理想的工具，但尚未完全理解。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的非侵入性方法来研究这些特殊的人工制品。飞行时间热中子衍射(TOF-ND)测量是在两台仪器INES和Engin-X上进行的，地点是英国拉尔的ISIS设施。两个日本刀片和八个刀片碎片已成功地从钢的成分、冶炼和锻造工艺以及锻造技术方面进行了表征。生产周期和锻造传统之间的差异已经明确确定。还需要进一步制定标准，通过将研究对象与已知生产方法的对象进行比较，充分了解样品的生产技术。
Japanese blades have always been considered very interesting objects, both from the stylistic point of view and their peculiar performances. It is amazing how the test and try process with a semi-empirical approach which lead to the optimization of Japanese blades, an almost ideal tool, is yet to be fully understood. In this work, we present results from a new non invasive approach to the study of these peculiar artefacts. Time of Flight Thermal Neutron Diffraction (TOF-ND) measurements were taken on two instrument INES and ENGIN-X, at the ISIS facility, RAL, UK. Two Japanese blades and eight blade fragments have been successfully characterized in terms of composition of the steel, smelting and smithing processes, and forging techniques. The differences among the production periods and forging traditions have been clearly determined. Further work is needed on standards to fully understand the production technique of a sample by comparison of the object under study with objects of known production methods.
