Show Stainless Iron held Great Invention. , Stainless iron, which is already on the market In the form of golf clubs, cutlery, small metal parts, shop fittings, fit-tings, sheets for turbine parts, and for other machinery parts specially liable to corrosion through exposure, is steadily stead-ily being made cheaper by the manufacturers manu-facturers in Sheffield. Its high cost at present is the chief obstacle to Its general use. When people recognize its intrinsic value, stainless iron will be used very extensively, says a steel maker. At present the development is in its infancy, and the closest investigation investi-gation is necessary before unqualified claims can be made or before the discovery dis-covery can be fully exploited. Stainless iron was regarded as one of the most important im-portant metallurgical developments of 1921. A great future is prophesied for it In engineering construction. It is expected that eventually it will replace re-place copper, brass, and nickel in the manufacture of a wide variety of articles. |
