Detailed Solution

Tipu Sultan's sword was made up of Wootz steel.
A process used to create Wootz Steel was popular in ancient India. A clay container was used to hold the porous iron after it had been prepared, hammered while still hot to remove slag, broken up, and sealed with wood chips. The clay container was then heated until the iron pieces absorbed the carbon from the wood and melted. The resulting steel had a homogeneous carbon content of 1-1.6 per cent and could be heated and forged into bars for subsequent use in creating items, such as the renowned Damascus swords of the Middle Ages. The edge of Tipu Sultan's sword was extremely sharp and hard and could readily tear through the armour of the foe.
