Though Brearley is given credit for the invention of stainless steel, French scientist Leon Gillet had documented the constitution of stainless steel in 1904.
While Gillet noted the composition and properties of his alloy mix, he never recognized the corrosive resistance of the material.
In 1911 Philip Monnartz of Germany published the first detailed work on the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
