Stainless steel was discovered to be "stainless" during World War I by an English metallurgist named Harry Brearly. While trying to find an alloy that would protect cannon bores in England, he discovered that when chromium was added to low carbon steel, the steel became stain resistant.

Why Stainless Steel is “Stainless”

Stainless steel develops an invisible, tenacious, and highly protective chrome oxide film on its surface. Chromium in stainless steel teams up with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a film or substance called chrome oxide. The chrome oxide film gives stainless steel its exceptional corrosion resistant properties, which allow stainless steel to last for a long time.

The second essential element to stainless steel is nickel. While improving the engineering possibilities of the material, nickel further enhances the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Stainless steel is very useful to architects, designers, and sink manufacturers because of its corrosion resistance and its strength.

When sink manufacturers such as Kindred make stainless steel sinks, they are sure to add chromium and nickel during the melting stage process so that stainless steels are “stainless all the way through”. There is nothing to chip, wear, or peel off.

Why Stainless Steel is a Great Choice for a Sink

As the second most used plumbing fixture in your home, your choice of which material to choose for a kitchen sink should be based upon durability, stamina, and attractiveness. Stainless steel passes on all three criteria and is an outstanding choice for a kitchen sink.
