Stainless Steel Tubing

Stainless Steel was developed in the early 1900's due to a high demand for more durable materials. Through the experimentation of adding other metals to regular carbon steel it was discovered that Chromium had the ability to render stain resistant properties that metallurgists were looking for. Having improved the corrosion resistance of steel, cutlery was one of the first commercial applications for this new alloy. Harry Brearly of Sheffield, England is often credited with the discovery of the effects of Chromium on Carbon steel, somewhere between 1903 and 1913.
