Recommendation... *I would enjoy seeing a History Guy treatment about Fritz Haber.* It's a complicated story about a complicated man -- for instance, at his Nobel Prize ceremony in 1918, for an achievement in chemistry that would go on to save millions around the world from starvation, physicist Ernest Rutherford refused to shake his hand (for reasons not connected with Haber's Nobel Prize). And it gets, oddly, worse from there... but, considering that every single human alive today can thank him for roughly half of their entire body, it's a story definitely worth remembering.

I have no idea what I did to be punished like that but to keep from going insane the other fellows that were also wearing green would head out on weekends to explore the area of our captivity and punishment. I got to visit this large silver monument without understanding the significance of it all. The sweet joy of youth! It was a 125 mile drive just to go dance with a girl that didn't want to get into your wallet. These days I can still recall the beauty of MIssouri and reflect on all I was able to see in the mid west. Reflection is good, no bugs or humidity. On a serious note, if it wasn't such a crappy climate I think I would have stayed in the mid-west. Now that I understand the significants of that arch it takes on meaning to me!

I.e. what would have happened to the outcome of WW II if the winter 1941-42 hadn't stopped German troops from conquering Moscow and Leningrad? The same goes for Napoleon in 1812, when 450 000 of Napoleons 600 000 men army froze to death in the winter war in Russia with temperatures of -40 C. Bad weather also stopped the Spanish Armada to invade Britain in 1588. The list could go on, with many more examples of the weather changing the history.

I've been involved in metal fab for about 30 yrs. This episode is woefully lacking in technicals...which is to be expected from a non-technical channel. "Stainless", regardless of the series, is a beast to manipulate (compared to mild steel). I'm pretty sure the St Louis arch is 304 (decent corrosion resistance, but not as strong (tensile) as 400 series). What this video fails to mention is that "stains" on "stainless" steel are actually carbon contaminants deposited upon the surface of the metal. This "staining" is generally not a concern from a structural perspective. It is only asthmatically displeasing. On a geekier note, "stainless" steel (let's stick with 300 series), is most easily welded via tig process. Migging "stainless" is a ropy nightmare.
@davidelliott5843

Stainless welders need special air extraction or breathing equipment as the chrome vapour is harmful to lungs. TIG is less of a problem as the weld is protected with inert gas but the issues still apply if you are doing it all day.

My cousins and I always thought of it as Grandpa's Arch because he was so proud to have worked on it. We only learned several years ago that he was the foreman. His men mentioned that he would be missed when they visited the Arch as a group in Nov of 2012. Kenneth Wright said this around the time of their trip. To me, there's something so striking about these words. “At the time, it seemed like just another job. We never dreamed it would be this magnificent and this great of a thing.”

When I was young, 50 years ago, my father would take me to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. I remember a shiny airplane on display, outside. I've since learned it was a one-off prototype stainless steel airplane (I think from the 1930s), but not practical, too heavy. It's still on display, still shiny (Google "franklin institute stainless steel airplane" to see a picture of it). About that time, the Reading Railroad (now SEPTA) adopted the Silverliner series of electric railcars. Handsome. all stainless multiple unit passenger cars. SEPTA still runs Silverliners, although newer models. I really enjoy the History Guy's enthusiasm about a subject, any subject!

@crusinscamp - The Budd BB-1 may not have been practical (it never entered production) but not because it was too heavy. It weighed perhaps 140kg (about 20%) more than the Savoyard-Marchetti S.56 on which it was based; some of that would be accounted for by its more powerful engine (210hp instead of 125hp). It certainly flew, clocking up around 1000 hours, and Budd went on to build the RB-1 Conestoga transport aircraft for the US Navy during WWII - again using stainless steel.

Those that choose to and can think deeper than the garbage that constantly thrust in front of you know that the word can be so much better than it is. They know humans can be better than they are, because if they knew that this is the best it gets then all hope would be lost Optimism would turn into a deep pessimism and learning from history would become irrelevant and we would all be doomed.

When I was a kid, I visited HMS Sheffield at Navy Days 1963 in Portsmouth Harbour which had been commissioned in 1937. Sheffield had a very illustrious career in WW2- not least being a great survivor- she was torpedoed by mistake by Royal Navy aircraft searching for the Bismarck- luckily the new type detonators did not work and "The reaction of Sheffield's crew "has not made its way into the official records"' You can imagine what that was- in today's argot- WTF! Anyway, the ship was known as "Shiny Sheff." This was because as Sheffield is the home of stainless steel- HMS Sheffield had most of the brass fittings on her made with stainless steel to eliminate cleaning chores and this included the ship's bell. Sadly, Sheffield deteriorated while in the Reserve Fleet and went for scrap and her sister Belfast- a less storied vessel was preserved. I have to admit, all those years ago I do not recall the stainless steel but I was unaware at that age of Sheffield's special fittings. I do remember being in one of the turrets- very impressive!

A major breakthrough in the use of stainless steel occurred in 1932 when a metallurgist, Earl Ragsdale, of the Edward G. Budd Company in Philadelphia, invented a method of welding it without ruining its corrosion resistance, as normal welding does. In a process they called Shot Weld, a short electrical burst fuses the metal without damaging or weakening it. Budd became a major manufacturer of stainless steel railroad passenger cars, producing the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy's Pioneer Zephyr, which made a record breaking non-stop "dawn to dusk" run between Denver and Chicago in May 1934, covering the 1,034 miles in a bit over 13 hours. The Budd Company built thousands of cars for railroads all over the world, distinguished by their fluted sides and roofs of stainless steel -- the corrugations adding strength to the sheet steel, which also allowed for lighter weight. Many Budd-built cars are still in use on Amtrak, and until recently, cars from the early Fifties were still running on Amtrak trains. In New York City, some Budd subway cars (the R32 series) from 1964 are still in operation, 55 years after delivery. Their bodies are as good as ever; the electrical and mechanical systems have needed upgrades and overhauls. (Only a series of wood-bodied elevated cars built in 1903 and 1905 which served until 1969 have a longer record of use.) The Budd Company played an important part in the story of stainless steel.

Because you don't need Ni per se. Stainless steel should have at least 10.5 % by weight Cr and at most 1.2 wt% C. That's what you need to get the self-passivation to occur, the immediate formation of Cr oxide that seals the surface off. Ni can be hugely beneficial for mechanical properties and increased corrosion resistance but it's not crucial.

As to high strength SS alloys I said in general. Aero space SS steels and bearing SS steels do use much higher chromium content, but it must be balanced with higher carbon and alloying element's.

All SS alloys can have their strength improved by cold working for application. Heat treating is more consistent and less effort making it the preferred option when available. 400 series steels are sometimes ordered with a lower chromium content and very low carbon. This is because it is far easier to machine than chrome-moly and tool steels. When design does not require high grade property's, and attack by water, salts, and mild acids is not a design concern. The difficulty with high carbon SS heat treatment is it must be done perfectly or it will produce very large carbide growth in the substrate. This makes the material brittle and produces a failure point that is very similar to a knot in wood. Matweb.com was the resource used for alloy content. If you simply wish to disagree that's fine.

@@awashburn6944 nickel is interesting because it bonds to iron in exact same way as chromium. For the first few percentage points it is effectively a one to one swap for chromium. Enabling more chromium to form the passivation layer by displacing it into the outer layer. Any alloy element forming carbides does free up a bit more chromium. Have you heard of nitrogen heat treating for stainless steels to reduce precipitations. I agree it is certainly difficult to find new research on stainless. It is worth taking a look into high speed steel, tool steel, and managing steels for useful research. D2 tool steel is interesting case it should be a stainless alloy(11-13%Cr)but because of the alloy content it does not produce a self healing layer.

7:20 In Danish, the alloy is actually called Stainfree steel, or rather corrosion free (Rustfri stål). Since I was very young, I wondered about the name. When clearly my moms cutlery often had superficial corrosion, that needed to be polished off. After leaning English and realising what the word on the side of our knives meant. For many years, I thought it might be because of us being 'poor', and we couldn't afford the 'real deal'. E.g, our cutlery was fake. Why the "Free" word is used in Danish though, is still a mystery to me, at age 40 though. But alas, not enough for me to have ever researched it. I'm sure there is a funny story there though. Probably an initial bad translation, or a marketing ploy by the initial importer or producer in Denmark.

After 3 years I reviewed this video, and am here to add a further note. As I said before, one of my vocations was mortuary work. We sold stainless caskets. I am also interested in metals and magnets. So I got a strong magnet out of a deceased microwave oven. I checked it on a stainless steel casket. For a low carbon/iron metal, the magnet stuck to it amazingly well. I thought it was not supposed to! Next I tried the magnet on the outer housing of our large commercial (body) refrigerators. The magnet hardly stuck at all! And those big fridges, due to their job are not at all ornamental. Client families rarely see them. So I am an amateur in metal work. But my conclusion may matter to you if you ever need to make arrangements at a mortuary: The much higher quality in the two stainless objects I tested was the body refrigerator. I feel that the "stainless" qualities of those very expensive caskets is not worth the money! I am retired now but would never want a stainless casket for myself. Nor did I use one for either of my two wives who have died! If rust resistance is important to you in a casket, your choices include bronze, copper, aluminum and even wicker. The Orthodox casket is all good quality wood and has NO metal in it. Granted, two of these choices are not going to be that long lasting in the ground, but the result is natural. What really matters is that you get right with God. Turn to Jesus while you can. He is loving and welcoming. If you turn to Him, He CHOOSES not to remember the past. That is forgiveness. ❤ And that alone will give you a sweet, lovely eternity.

The World War Two Budd Conestoga (RB-1 / C-93) cargo plane was produced by the Budd Company using rib formed stainless steel skin that was spotwelded together and to a stainless steel frame. As with many prototype aircraft; it came too late, had to use outdated surplus engines that were underpowered, changing material supplies and new technologies that were more promising caused their production runs or outright being canceled. www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=1942
