Why was harry brearly interested in making stainless steel?

Harry Brearley was interested in creating stainless steel to solve the problem of erosion and corrosion in gun barrels, which were suffering from wear and failure. In 1913, while experimenting with different metal alloys, he discovered that adding chromium to steel significantly improved its resistance to rust and staining. This groundbreaking development not only enhanced the durability of gun barrels but also led to the widespread use of stainless steel in various applications, revolutionizing industries such as kitchenware, construction, and medical instruments. Brearley's work thus marked a significant advancement in materials science.

Is laminated shot gun barrels better then Damascus barrels?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. Generally a shotgun with Damascus barrels (those showing a spiral pattern on the outside, since they were made from spiralling layers of metal) will have been made for black powder only. In their time, fine Damascus barrels were considered a superior option, but caution should be exercised shooting such guns now, and definitely only black powder should be used. If in doubt, get the gun checked by a qualified gunsmith.
