Andrew Carnegie, the American steel king in the 19th century, realized that steel would be an important material to change transportation, construction, and life production in the future.
The Carnegie Steel Company was established in 1892, becoming the largest steel company in the world at the time. Now Carnegie has become history, but steel has become an irreplaceable production material as he predicted. On the basis of predecessors, later generations have optimized and improved steel materials. In 1916, the British Henry Breer officially brought stainless steel to all mankind in the form of a patent.
In the 21st century, the development and application of stainless steel has reached a stage of stable and mature development. The application of stainless steel in daily production and life can be seen everywhere, and people's requirements for stainless steel products are not the same. Stainless steel is the first choice where both the properties and corrosion resistance of steel are required.
As demand increases, production increases, making it more affordable than ever. Increased demand has resulted in the availability of standard and non-standard sizes. In addition, a variety of stainless steel finishes are available. In addition to polished finishes, a range of patterned and coloured surfaces are also available.
Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable. In fact, half of stainless steel production comes from scrap metal. This makes it a relatively environmentally friendly material.
