Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

A team of engineers has developed and tested a type of steel with a record-breaking ability to withstand an impact without deforming permanently. The new steel alloy could be used in a wide range of ...

Alloys are not just random combinations of elements; they are precisely engineered to enhance specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, and conductivity. 1, 2 For example ...

There is increasing demand for a broad range of structural materials for environmentally benign, energy-efficient, lightweight engineering systems. The balance of lightness, strength and ductility in ...

Steel is a foundational material used in a huge number of sectors, from construction to transportation. With its strength, durability, and versatility, the material is invaluable. But not all steel is ...
