Explanation:
Indian wootz steel which was produced all over south India, fascinated European scientists.
The wootz steel making process was completely lost by the mid 19th century. The reason behind this was that when the British conquered India, the import of iron and steel from England began to displace the iron and steel produced by the crafts people in India.
Several iron smelters lost their job. The demand for iron produced by them inevitably lowered.
