Industrialist metallurgist researcher
Robert Abbott Hadfield was born on November 28, 1858 in Sheffield.
He was trained as a chemist in the Sheffield Collegiate School.
He worked for a short time as an analyst until he joined his father who, in 1872, had started a small foundry for making steel castings.
At the age of 24 Hadfield was put in charge of the firm and on his father's death in 1888 became chairman and managing director of the company, positions which he held until his death.
In 1882 Hadfield discovered the valuable properties of and unusual heat treatment for manganese steel, and at the same time began his studies of silicon steel.
It was not until 20 years later, however, that silicon steels were commercially recognized. The fruits of his research are in published papers numbering at least 160, and there are numerous comments, addresses, and letters that were never published.
Hadfield received many honors from all parts of the world. He was knighted in 1908 and became a baronet in 1917.
He was a fellow of the Royal Society, an officer of the Legion of Honor, and the recipient of honorary degrees from Sheffield, Leeds, and Oxford universities.
His honors included the Elliot-Cresson Medal of the Franklin Institute and the John Fritz Medal of the Engineering Foundation.
