Carbon steel has long been used for construction and other uses, of course, but its main drawback was its corrosive nature. Any kind of exposure to the elements meant rust, rust, and more rust. Very few steel artifacts remain from ancient times because they simply crumbled away over the centuries unless they were protected in some way. In the 19th century, European metallurgists discovered that adding chromium to carbon steel would make it much more corrosion-resistant, but they were never able to create practical applications for their discovery.

In the 20th century, however, Americans found a workable formula for combining chromium with steel, and "stainless steel" was officially patented. Although it is technically not completely stainless, a steel/chromium alloy containing at least 11% chromium is much more stain resistant than its pure carbon counterpart, and does not rust or corrode nearly as easily.
