Harry Brearley could hardly have predicted the seismic change his discovery would produce. It has revolutionized most modern industries, including food, medicine, and transportation. The non-corrosive and rust-resistant properties of stainless steel have made it essential in the preparation, delivery, and storage of food. The surface resists oxidization at high temperatures making the sterilization of medical equipment possible. It is because of this shift of aesthetics along with the aforementioned practical value that stainless steel appliances are now a common sight in residential kitchens as well as commercial ones.

A Brief History of Stainless Steel. So we come now to Harry Brearley. He said that in order to create an alloy with a high percentage of chromium the carbon content needs to remain below 0. Two decades went by in which scientists attempted to develop stainless steel and they tried creating low carbon stainless steel but no attempts were successful.
In Leon Guillet carried out extensive research on iron-chromium allows and thus he came up with compositions of what is now known as , , , and c. He never documented the potential corrosion of the above materials. In , the importance of minimum chromium content was discovered by Monnartz and Borchers.
