In Memoriam:
Harry Brearley died 28 years ago today
Usually credited with the invention of "rustless steel" (later to be called "stainless steel") in the anglophone world. His life had humble beginnings as the son of a steel melter. He left school at the age of twelve to enter his first employment as a labourer in one of the city's steelworks, being transferred soon afterwards to the post of general assistant in the company's chemical laboratory. For several years, in addition to his laboratory work, he studied at home and later in formal evening classes, to specialize in steel production techniques and associated chemical analysis methods.
