STAINLESS STEEL IN TRANSPORT
Abstract
Over 50 years ago a noted Sheffield metallurgist, Harry Brearley, attempting to improve the life of gun barrels discovered that a steel containing 13% of chromum was resistant to etching by acids. This he called ‘stainless steel’. From this initial discovery many stainless steels have been evolved, suitable for service in a wide range of environments and at normal, cryogenic and elevated temperatures.
