STAIN LESS STATESMAN

摘要

In 1950, world stainless steel production totaled 1 million mt In 2005, world production reached 24.3 million mt, Stainless, it seems, is here to stay. Across those five percent decades, one constant has been Albert Wein, who today at 82, is a respected authority on nickel alloys and stainless steel scrap. Wein's foray into stainless seems natural when you know he's practically a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh, That city became a center of stainless steel production in the 1950s, when manufacturers began touting the strength and beauty of the many stainless alloys developed during World War II. From his start at Tube City ton & Metal Co. (Glassport, Pa.) to his years at Steelmet Inc. (McKeesport, Pa.) to the foundir of his own company, Wein has tracked the growth of the stainless industry and scrap's role in it.
