Stainless Steel Melting Processes
The first materials able to withstand the aggressive action of the acids were discovered in 1821, thanks to the mixing and the merger of oxides of iron and chromium. A little bit of history Initially, this alloy contained a percentage of chromium of around 1.5 and high carbon values. Only at the end of the […]
