Stainless steel was invented in 1913 by metallurgist Harry Brearley while trying to improve gun barrels. The key to stainless steel's "stainless" properties is the addition of the element Chromium to the steel's mix. The Chromium oxidizes in a special way that forms a sort of barrier between the steel and the environment. Other metals such as Nickel, Molybdenum, and Titanium can also be added to give steel various other properties that may be desirable depending on the steel's use. There are many complex steel varieties today, each more complicated and precise than the next. They make many amazing things possible like skyscrapers, submarines, and the St. Louis Arch.
