The historical origin of stainless steel

With fine stainless steel products into the daily life gradually, industry of different areas of stainless steel products demand is growing. Where may originated in stainless steel products?

The invention of the stainless steel and use, dates back to the first world war ii.

British scientists, Henry cabral, the valley of entrusted by the British government’s military Arsenal, research weapon of improving work. At that time, the soldier with a rifle barrel easy to wear and tear, Blair want to invent a kind of not easy to wear and tear of alloy steel. Blair, the invention of stainless steel in 1916 the British patents and start mass production, at this point, from the stainless steel found in the dump is popular in the world, Henry cabral, also known as the “father” of stainless steel. Mr Blair and his aides have collected in the production of various types of steel products at home and abroad, various properties of alloy steel, in a variety of different properties on the mechanical performance of the experiment, and then select the applicable of the steel. One day, they tested a domestically produced with large amounts of chromium alloy steel, after abrasion experiment, discover this alloy is not wear-resisting, illustrate this cannot make, so they recorded the experimental results, drop a corner. Months after one day, an aide running with a piece of steel excitedly looking for bliss ali said: “Sir, this is I found in the clean the warehouse from Mr Mullah alloy, whether you test, to see what’s so special it!” “Good!” Cloth, look at the bright white steel, ali said happily.

The experimental results show that: it is a piece of stainless steel is not afraid of acid, alkali, salt.

The stainless steel is Germany’s mullah invented in 1912, however, the mullahs didn’t know what’s with this kind of stainless steel.

Mr Blair, calculating a way: “this is not wear resistance, corrosion resistance of steel, tableware can do?”

He said to start to be made of stainless steel fruit fork, spoon, fruit tray, etc.

Therefore, graduated from the university of Sheffield is the famous scientist is in Henry cabral, metallurgy of (Harry Brearley) invented the stainless steel in the beginning of the 20th century.
