History of alloying

The complexity of alloying

Alloying poses certain technological difficulties. If conventional smelting technology is used, the alloying elements burn out. That is why for smelting Damascus steel medieval smiths used quite complicated techniques, which were kept secret for those times.

Natural alloying

It is interesting that the first steels with which people were acquainted were naturally alloyed alloys - the so-called meteor iron, containing up to 8.5% Ni. Alloys made from ores originally rich in alloying elements were also highly valued. The rare combination of hardness and toughness of samurai swords with a blade of unique sharpness is due to the presence of molybdenum in the alloy.

Our time

Alloying was mastered by metallurgists relatively recently. Modern views on the effect on the properties of steel of various additives were defined along with the formation of chemistry at the beginning of the 19th century. As an example of the first successful alloying process, in 1858 Muchette smelted a carbon steel containing 1.85% C, 9% W and 2.5% Mn. The steel was used to make cutters for machine tools and was the prototype of today's high-speed steels. Industrial production of such steels was mastered in 1871. It is considered that the first alloyed steel of mass production was steel patented by English metallurgist Robert Hadfield in 1882.
