He was perhaps the most important physicist of his time in the field of molecular metallurgy. His work challenging the application of Einsteinian Relativity to atomic and subatomic interactions did much to clean up problems associated with the blank spot modern physics has had concerning how the laws of relativity and quantum physics intersect in the detectable behaviors of subatomic particles.
Excellent! He presented it as an easy diy. I've always had an interest in metallurgy. Now that I know the percentages and method, when I get a chance, I'll make my own Stainless Steel.

Unless you're a "knife knut," as we knife enthusiasts are often called, you're probably not aware that in the last 30 years or so, there has been something of a revolution in stainless steel. At least, a revolution in stainless knife blade steel. The three attributes one is always looking for with blade steel are resistance to corrision/rust, edge retention, and what is called "toughness," which is the ability of a blade to resist stress without chipping or fracturing. The difficulty is that there's always a trade off between those attributes, that is, making a steel more rust resistant tends to make it less tough or decrease edge retention; increasing edge retention will reduce toughness and/or stainlessness; improved resistance to rust comes at the cost of toughness or edge retention. With that in mind, knife makers have generally sought blade steels with either the best two out of three of those attributes, or ideally, steels that have a balance between all three. And for almost 50 years, the steel that had the best balance between edge retention, stainlessness, and toughness was 440C, and it was considered the best all-around steel for knife blades. However, beginning in the 1990s with improved ability of foundries to precisely control the amount of elements added to a steel alloy, and the ability to very precisely control the temperature of the heat treatment, or tempering, of steel, metullugists began producing steels that greatly outperformed 440C in all three of the categories. And just the last 10-15 years, a new industrial process for removing impurities by rapidity cooling the steel with liquid nitrogen has produced even better products. The upshot is that today, the best knife blade steels have edge retention and toughness around 200 to 300% better than 440C (which is still used as a standard for comparison), and are about twice as resist to rust and corrosion. Even "mid-range" quality blade steels have around 150% the edge retention and toughness of 440C, with equal or slightly better stainlessness. Jst to put the cherry on top, because of their uniform micrograin structure, the latest generation of these "super steels" aren't even that hard to sharpen, and you can put a hair-popping, razor's edge of them with only little more effort than it takes to sharpen up the old 420 steel of a Swiss Army knife. So if you're someone who appreciates a good knife but haven't bought one for bought one for a decade or two (like I was until a few years ago), I strongly recommend checking out what's on the market these days. For around $100, you can get a knife with one of those mid-range steels that will still be a better blade than anything on the market before 1995; $200-250 will get you a top of the line blade steel.
I respect your Knife Steel Knowledge. I always thought the first was 440C (maybe D2 was the first) stainless in the 1980's (unless it's made by slave labor in China, they use 440A or 440B, who knows what type they truly are.) Next was D2 tool steel, I believe, then Aus 8, Now it's all about the powdered steels, like M390, S30V, and S35V, I recommend D2 for everyday use, and Bohler M390 steel for an explosion proof blade that will survive the apocalypse.Thank you for the useful information. cheers.
@@justinwaters8679 Thank you. Sounds like you know your knife steels as well. I'm definitely not an expert, but I know a little of the history, and although chemists first produced the formulations around the 1920s, both 440C and D2 were perfected and went into large scale production right around WWII, which is why both of them (esp D2) are so ubiquitous today, despite still being pretty good blade steels: no company holds patents on them anymore. D2, as you said, didn't really begin appearing in knives until the 70s or 80s, when some custom makers optimized the heat treatment for it. Before that, it was pretty much a choice between 440A, B, or C if you wanted to get fancy; or 420, 410, or 414 for budget knives. In the late 80s/early 90s, a few companies, notably Spyderco, started using some Japanese steels like AUS-6 and 8, GIN-1, 3, and 5, and that eventually lead to them using even better Japanese steels like ATS-55 and ATS-34. ATS-34 is the Hitachi version 154CM, which is made by Crucible Steel, and once they realized the demand for it they began producing a lot more of it; consequently, you don't see many American knives with ATS-34 steel these days, but you sure do see a lot of 154CM (and CPM 154) blades out there. The Japanese VG-10 is still pretty popular in the US, though. I agree with your steel recommendations with a couple of addenda: the Swedish firm Bohler-Uddeholm makes M390, and it's damn amazing blade steel, but there are two other steels with pretty much exactly the same alloy formula: CPM 20CV from Crucible, and CTS-204P from Carpenter Steel. All three are basically identical, and perform identically if properly tempered. Secondly, if you're willing to give up stainlessness, my two favorite blade steels are CPM M4 and CPM Rex 45. They're similar, but M4 is a little tougher and much easier to find--I think some Spyderco sprint runs are the only knives with Rex 45 blades right now. In any case, both are amazing steels that hold an edge forever without sacrificing toughness, but they'll develop a patina and have to be protected from moisture. I live in the desert though, so too much moisture is rarely a problem for me. And lastly, the new king of knife steel is apparently CPM Magnacut. I have yet to get my hands on any of it, but, well...you can check out a summary by its inevntor over at the knifesteelnerds.com website.
@@pitdog75 It always depends upon exactly what you plan to do with a knife, and how much you're willing to spend. The best steel for a small knife you're going to use mostly to open letters would be different from a big blade that you're going to put to hard use outdoors. And both edge geometry and a steel's heat treatment will effect its performance as much as what type of steel it actually is. All that being said and everything else being equal, my favorite steel for an edc knife has three names depending upon the company that makes it: CPM 20CV, M390, and CTS-204P, made by Crucible Industries, Bohler-Uddeholm--a Swedish firm--and Carpenter Steel, respectively. Again, those are three brand names for what is effectively an identical product, and it's arguably the best, most balanced knife steel available today. It's also the most expensive, so for a bit less money, CPM S30V, CPM S35VN, or CPM S45VN are almost as good. The next step down in price and performance would be probably 154CM, CPM 154, and Nitro V steel, but even two steps removed from the very best, those three are outstanding blade steels. As for a "meat knife," if you mean like a hunting/outdoor skinner-type knife, I think the very steel best is probably CPM 3V, followed by 52100. Although these days a lot of larger knives of that type are made from D2 steel, which is still a very good performer and is much less expensive than either 3V or 52100. If, on the other hand, by "meat knife" you mean something for the kitchen, I have to claim ignorance there--I don't know what most chefs would prefer. I can say, however, that I own a couple of kitchen knives made from a popular Japanese steel called shirogami or "white paper" steel, and they are excellent.
It's called Nikasil and was developed as a cylinder lining for 2cycle engines which don't have any crankcase lubrication. Silicon carbide matrix...good stuff.
This also explains why the steel body panels on some cars rust through in a few years when exposed to the air and road salt and others seem to have a natural corrosion resistance. One used cheap steel and the other used an alloy, not necessarily a stainless steel, one containing some nickel which increased common corrosion resistance.
I recently started collecting knives and this helps give a better understand the myriad steels used for blades. There are various combinations of the ability to be sharpened, hardness, brittle or resilient, and corrosion resistance. No steel is perfect. There are steels that are designated as 8Cr13MoV which is 0.8% carbon and 13% chromium. More corrosion resistant but softer than tool steel. Easier to sharpen, but the edge may not last as long in use.
And if you add a little Niobium You get great ductile Properties. How wonderful it is to live in a world where we have all these materials available to us

Well, he had a funny way of talking, but this is a very informative video. In fact, it's the best explanation of stainless steel I've seen. Thanks for posting.
Only a few years later the Steelers would start forming a Dynasty team that defied Football in the 70s to the new decade... not a Steeler fan by any means, but still.
great video. it was interesting to hear him muse upon the possibility of the Vikings discovering America centuries before Columbus. a few years after this video the vinland settlement would be found, and the Viking possibility would become a certainty.
boy , he just hits you over the head with that lesson ... old school style ... I like how the nickel alloy concept came from a meteorite from space , 8:38 cock-sure there was !
I’ve been reading some of my Dad’s engineering books from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s and strangely, stainless steel isn’t specifically mentioned by name but they do reference a load of different steel mixes which include that make stainless steel. They referred to it as Martensite or Austentic Steel as in the video.
The presenter's style makes me think of Carl Sagan's totally wild accent and unusual cadence (hear him in your head saying 'unusual cadence'). Less pronounced here, but still present.
That was quite possibly just a legend. But if a anyone did test a sword on a slave, it was probably the slave that was either the least behaved or least popular.
That looks like the Pittsburg Steelers football team logo. Between 0:20 and 0:25 of the video. Except, it says "Stainless Steel" in the logo on the video, not "Steelers".
That is because in 1962, Republic Steel suggested that the Steelers use the "Steel Mark" Logo on their helmets. That is what that logo is. U.S. Steel originally designed the logo, but turned the rights over to the American Iron and Steel Institute to be used to represent the entire American steel industry.
Please, make the time stamp smaller and push it to one side... it is too large and at times interferes with the view. If it was transparent instead of black on white, it would be even better.... Fabulous films you have
As a Pittsburgher, I'm glad to see the hypocycloids in the thumbnail and intro. But even though a great deal of civic pride emanates from that symbol, I must admit that it isn't "stainless". As great as the 70s football dynasty was, it was definitely fueled by the first widespread and systematic use of anabolic steroids in sports outside of the Iron Curtain Olympic programs. They were still pretty great, though, even if they were kinda cheaters. It wasn't technically against any rules.🤔😇🤣 (edit: I used the wrong word for hypocycloids)
The term "stainless" replaced "rustless" as part of a PR drive to give steel a lighter, and more household feel in a time when people associated the product with the god-awful images of the steel cities choking in the mills' fallout. Also part of that image change was the creation of the tri-colored Steel logo (later adapted for the Steelers helmets).

Well Budd Co made railroad passenger cars, almost all stainless stell since the 40' , far stronger and lighter than usual carbon or cor ten steel. They assembled using spot weld technique invented by Budd. Many of these cars are still in daily service and only metal fatigue will bring them to scrap.

We do actually know how to recreate the metal in those sabers, and the part about the slave isn't true. It you ran a red hot blade through something as chunky as a body, the metal would still be brittle as it went in, and then you would hit all kinds of different densities of tissue, most likely bone, which would destroy the crystaline structure of the metal that you just worked so hard to get. The metal needs to cool somewhat slowly and evenly to be tempered correctly, with no stressors being placed on it, such as the bending and twisting being thrust through a body would put it under. I took four years of metal studies in college, and this very topic actually came up in class once. My professor was a master metalsmith who enjoyed discussing oddities like this using science and practicality. I'm not saying this video isn't educational, but after hearing the narrator blithely toss those silly old myths around, I'm taking everything else with a grain of salt.
I think that might be a little showmanship to keep the kids from falling asleep. People are mostly water and water quenching rarely works on blades. Also this was from years ago too. We knew a bit less.
the nickle mining around sudbury ontario to make all this stainless steel turned the place into a wasteland, it looked like the moon from all the acid rain, killed all the lakes etc etc. at least people didn't have rusty stuff tho
24:36 240ksi stainless, sounds dubious especially back then. We have some modern steels that can reach 300ksi but as far as I'm aware they are carbon-steels.

Unless you're a "knife knut," as we knife enthusiasts are often called, you're probably not aware that in the last 30 years or so, there has been something of a revolution in stainless steel. At least, a revolution in stainless knife blade steel. The three attributes one is always looking for with blade steel are resistance to corrision/rust, edge retention, and what is called "toughness," which is the ability of a blade to resist stress without chipping or fracturing. The difficulty is that there's always a trade off between those attributes, that is, making a steel more rust resistant tends to make it less tough or decrease edge retention; increasing edge retention will reduce toughness and/or stainlessness; improved resistance to rust comes at the cost of toughness or edge retention.

For around $100, you can get a knife with one of those mid-range steels that will still be a better blade than anything on the market before 1995; $200-250 will get you a top of the line blade steel.

There's a little bit of Hugh Beaumont in his delivery.

Damn, you're right about that!
Was just wondering if he might have influenced the acting of Don Adams in the 60s TV show "get smart "...very intense.
This also explains why the steel body panels on some cars rust through in a few years when exposed to the air and road salt and others seem to have a natural corrosion resistance. One used cheap steel and the other used an alloy, not necessarily a stainless steel, one containing some nickel which increased common corrosion resistance.
Obviously not Chevys, Plymouths and fords
He does a brilliant job of explaining!
The Steelers logo in the thumbnail brought me here.
LET’S GO (STAINLESS) STEEL(MAK)ERS! 🎉
I recently started collecting knives and this helps give a better understand the myriad steels used for blades. There are various combinations of the ability to be sharpened, hardness, brittle or resilient, and corrosion resistance. No steel is perfect. There are steels that are designated as 8Cr13MoV which is 0.8% carbon and 13% chromium. More corrosion resistant but softer than tool steel. Easier to sharpen, but the edge may not last as long in use.
But the Roman’s got here first hahaha This guy is the best.
Brilliant video, well presented, thanks for uploading.
An engaging and interesting production.
And if you add a little Niobium You get great ductile Properties. How wonderful it is to live in a world where we have all these materials available to us
God provided I guess.
Is that something like unobtanium?
GREAT AND VERY FACTUAL and INFORMATIC presentation .. better than almost anything seen today! Thank you for the upload.
Mr. Haynes ...,
an American inventor
Stainless steel
His products are orbiting the Earth....
Elwood Haynes, of Kokomo, Indiana. Inventor of Stellite alloys. And also the Haynes-Apperson car, that didn't quite make it.
Great video Periscope! Thanks!

This guy's pronunciation of interesting is quite interesting.
Very well presented and very informative! Best of luck!
Well, he had a funny way of talking, but this is a very informative video. In fact, it's the best explanation of stainless steel I've seen. Thanks for posting.
This guy is a trip! But the information was very interesting and direct.
He reminds me of my old history teacher.
Watching from the original Steel City of Sheffield
Likewise! I was hoping a fellow Sheffielder would be here!
Only a few years later the Steelers would start forming a Dynasty team that defied Football in the 70s to the new decade... not a Steeler fan by any means, but still.
great video. it was interesting to hear him muse upon the possibility of the Vikings discovering America centuries before Columbus. a few years after this video the vinland settlement would be found, and the Viking possibility would become a certainty.
boy , he just hits you over the head with that lesson ... old school style ... I like how the nickel alloy concept came from a meteorite from space , 8:38 cock-sure there was !
I wish I had that guy for school.
I had a history teacher a bit like him who made you listen.
Do you have part 2??
I’ve been reading some of my Dad’s engineering books from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s and strangely, stainless steel isn’t specifically mentioned by name but they do reference a load of different steel mixes which include that make stainless steel. They referred to it as Martensite or Austentic Steel as in the video.
24:15 slickest bit of marketing i’ve ever heard
I'd like to hear more about the specialty alloys and their uses.
bro, this is infinite. lolz
Are you being sarcastic?
If it can become more comprehensive than this !
Dude that's so Metal!!!🤘🤘🙏🇺🇲👍⭐️💙🪶
Come on Part 2!
The presenter's style makes me think of Carl Sagan's totally wild accent and unusual cadence (hear him in your head saying 'unusual cadence'). Less pronounced here, but still present.
Sounds like Elwood Blues
Where is Part 2?
Yes folks, the Pittsburgh Steelers did ask for permission to use the steel logo as the team’s logo, if it looks familiar to you.
I think this film's color scheme must have inspired the Dallas Cowboys' uniforms.
This guy was a real showman.
Stainless Steel is my favorite metal!
Part two, please.
That was brilliant, or was it "shiny?"
Very interesting, thank you.
Imagine being the slave who had to "prove" or quench those swords! 😳
That's what I was thinking. "Hey boss, I have a better idea! How about water?"
That was quite possibly just a legend. But if a anyone did test a sword on a slave, it was probably the slave that was either the least behaved or least popular.
Do you have Part 2 of this series as well?
Very good sleep aid- two thumbs-up 👍 👍
wish he was my science teacher....
Is this the guy's voice from the sublime song 2 joints? When he said furthermore it got my attention
Pittsburgh Steelers team insignia (logo?) at the beginning!
That looks like the Pittsburg Steelers football team logo.
Between 0:20 and 0:25 of the video. Except, it says "Stainless Steel" in the logo on the video, not "Steelers".
That is because in 1962, Republic Steel suggested that the Steelers use the "Steel Mark" Logo on their helmets. That is what that logo is. U.S. Steel originally designed the logo, but turned the rights over to the American Iron and Steel Institute to be used to represent the entire American steel industry.
Really interesting sort of film. Has Pert 2 been posted or planned for?
Thanks so much for all of these fantastic films.
Please, make the time stamp smaller and push it to one side... it is too large and at times interferes with the view. If it was transparent instead of black on white, it would be even better.... Fabulous films you have
Fascinating
those pictures on the wall show some pretty rough grain structure
How he whips out that sword……
hehehe...what a beast! loved it!
Very, very eneresting
As a Pittsburgher, I'm glad to see the hypocycloids in the thumbnail and intro.
But even though a great deal of civic pride emanates from that symbol, I must admit that it isn't "stainless". As great as the 70s football dynasty was, it was definitely fueled by the first widespread and systematic use of anabolic steroids in sports outside of the Iron Curtain Olympic programs.
They were still pretty great, though, even if they were kinda cheaters. It wasn't technically against any rules.🤔😇🤣
(edit: I used the wrong word for hypocycloids)
The term "stainless" replaced "rustless" as part of a PR drive to give steel a lighter, and more household feel in a time when people associated the product with the god-awful images of the steel cities choking in the mills' fallout. Also part of that image change was the creation of the tri-colored Steel logo (later adapted for the Steelers helmets).
@@brianarbenz1329 You don't understand humor, you don't understand steel. and you don't understand Pittsburgh, the greenest city in the Western Hemisphere, with the greatest tree density of any urban area in the world. Be thankful that you are allowed to be a student, and do not attempt a teaching role that exceeds your meager competence.
What the hell are talking about
@@Biggestfoot10209 The symbol for high-carbon engineered lattice-structure steel is the same as the Logo for Pittsburgh's professional football team.
@@archenema6792 ok so what doe’s stainless steel have to do football or drugs
6:05 "It does not react readily with the etchant." Yep, _etchant_ goes through spellcheck. Give Dr. Z credit on that one.
My device wants to rewrite to _enchant_
The moral of this story: chrome wasn't built in a day..."groan"!!?!
Who's remember only few stainless steel were used in objects until mid 80's early 90.
Well Budd Co made railroad passenger cars, almost all stainless stell since the 40' , far stronger and lighter than usual carbon or cor ten steel. They assembled using spot weld technique invented by Budd. Many of these cars are still in daily service and only metal fatigue will bring them to scrap.
That was crazy man…
America was once an industrial country. Now, America only manufactures fast food, and comic book movies.
Is there a part two in the future?
When facts and empirical data was respected
Stainless Steel was discovered in Sheffield UK.
Here's a recent video about the history of Sheffield steel from a great content creator:
ruclips.net/video/fFaPenHxKgo/видео.html
By complete and utter accident in the great British tradition, bit like the British discovery of anti biotics!
@@andrewallen9993 I was under the impression that Antibiotic were discovered by a Spanish person call Dr Flaming and the is a statue erected in Madrid in honor of his discovery.
Don’t underestimate the British for they inventions the list is endless for example Radar and Sonar.
@@jackcro8825 Actually Dr. Fleming was a Scotsman but still British and the statue in Spain was erected in this Scotsman's honour.
@@andrewallen9993 I believe that the statue was erected in the red light district.
fantastic.. but where is part 2 ?
Stainless steel is similar use like platinum...I choice Stainless steel forever...is a miracles material...👍🇦🇷🌎✅
Does anyone have a link for part 2, or anything else with Dr Carl Zapffe narrating?
...add a little garlic and you have yourself a pizza!
We do actually know how to recreate the metal in those sabers, and the part about the slave isn't true. It you ran a red hot blade through something as chunky as a body, the metal would still be brittle as it went in, and then you would hit all kinds of different densities of tissue, most likely bone, which would destroy the crystaline structure of the metal that you just worked so hard to get. The metal needs to cool somewhat slowly and evenly to be tempered correctly, with no stressors being placed on it, such as the bending and twisting being thrust through a body would put it under. I took four years of metal studies in college, and this very topic actually came up in class once. My professor was a master metalsmith who enjoyed discussing oddities like this using science and practicality. I'm not saying this video isn't educational, but after hearing the narrator blithely toss those silly old myths around, I'm taking everything else with a grain of salt.
I think that might be a little showmanship to keep the kids from falling asleep. People are mostly water and water quenching rarely works on blades. Also this was from years ago too. We knew a bit less.
the nickle mining around sudbury ontario to make all this stainless steel turned the place into a wasteland, it looked like the moon from all the acid rain, killed all the lakes etc etc. at least people didn't have rusty stuff tho
I've been to Sudbury a few times. Looked good to me. That area of Ontario is pretty lush and green.
When do we get part two?
26:29 makes some wonder if difference between "brittle" and "gentile" is localised, smelted or submerged in Irony
24:36
240ksi stainless, sounds dubious especially back then. We have some modern steels that can reach 300ksi but as far as I'm aware they are carbon-steels.
Precipitation-hardening martensitic stanless steels get up there. 440C
Carl sagan took public speaking classes from this guy
But which ones are magnetic and which ones aren't?
Martensitic is the class of stainless that is magnetic.
