Harry Brearley (February 18, 1871 – August 12,1948) was the inventor of "rustless steel" (later to be called "stainless steel").
Brearley died in 1948, at Torquay, a coastal resort in the south of England.
Brearley initially called the new alloy "rustless steel"; the more euphonic "stainless steel" was suggested by Ernest Stuart of R.F. Moseley's, a local cutlery manufacturer, and eventually prevailed.

  1. 풍산의 스테인리스 냉간압연강대의 특색
The inventor of stainless steel, Harry Brearley, was born in Sheffield, England in 1871.
Brearley at this time was still trying to find a more wear-resistant steel, and in order to examine the grain structure of the steel he needed to etch (attack with acid) samples before examining them under the microscope.
Brearley's contribution was that having come to a conclusion by purely empirical means he immediately seized on the practical uses of the new material.
