(ionorul engineering work is now absorbing a 1 deal ~l 1 lie stainless steel made in Shellield. Ihe steel is stoied, 1,, have a strength and toughness Cipial !" the special alloy steels such as arc used tor hack axles and transmission slialts in motor-cars, and (according to an article in the July issue of “The British Trade Kcview") is now available in the lurm ol sheet, wire, tubes, and so oil indeed, in all the forms in which ordinary steel is available. Ol course, it t\ not claimed that stainless steel will resist all the corroding media which can lie lievised; hut neither will the noble metals, gold and platinum, since the chemist., if he likes, can dissolve even the latter. But the addition ol chromium to the steel so increases ils resistance to the corroding influences with which it fs likely to he brought into contact, that the metal can really he considered rustless. Ihe steel is made stainless by adding 12 to II per cent of chromium io the metal when it is liquid in the melting lurnnee. I’nforl unately, the metal chromium docs not exist ill sufficient abundance for 12 to II per cent of it to he added to till the steel made. Nevertheless, there are suflicienl supplies of the chromium ores in existence to make the process practicable for the production ol non-rusting steel for special purposes.
