The Historical Background and Latest Development of Stainless Steel

The development history of stainless steel can be traced back to the early 20th century, initially invented by British engineer Henry Brawley. With the development of industry, the application fields of stainless steel continue to expand, from the initial tool manufacturing to multiple fields such as construction, chemical industry, and food processing. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the types and properties of stainless steel have been continuously optimized to meet the needs of more special environments and applications.

In summary, stainless steel has a wide range of applications in industry and daily life due to its corrosion resistance, hardness, and other physical properties.

The main characteristics of stainless steel include:

Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel can maintain its rust resistance in weakly corrosive media such as air, steam, and water, as well as resist the corrosion of chemical corrosive media (such as acid, alkali, salt, etc.).

Hardness: The hardness of stainless steel is usually higher than that of aluminum alloy, but its cost is also relatively high.

High temperature resistance and oxidation resistance: Stainless steel can maintain stable performance in high temperature environments and is not easily oxidized.
