Previous research into lightweight steel has focused on mixing in aluminum in varying proportions to attempt to reduce the density, and therefore the weight. Unfortunately, upping the aluminum content ...

Automakers are tweaking production processes to create a slew of new steels with just the right properties, allowing them to build cars that are both safer and more fuel-efficient. By John Johnson Jr.

Automakers are turning more to high-strength steel than aluminum as a replacement for mild steel. After a push to satisfy consumer demand for safer vehicles with stronger steels, manufacturers are ...

From shipping containers to skyscrapers to turbines, good old steel is still the workhorse of our modern world. Now, scientists are discovering new secrets to make the material better, lighter, and ...

When Elon Musk introduced the Cybertruck to the public in 2019, he said the truck's exoskeleton would be made out of a special steel alloy that would make it bulletproof. Last year, Tesla applied for ...

Strength and flexibility are two opposites that usually need to be balanced in steel. But now engineers at Purdue University and Sandia National Labs have developed a new treatment that can be applied ...

Steel alloys are mainly used in the steel industry – but battery and energy storage applications mean they will also play an increasingly important role in the energy transition, says Wood Mackenzie, ...

The Tesla Cybertruck is indeed still in development. Though news on the thing is scarce, especially its release date, there’s been scattered news on it, like seeing the prototype with mirrors and a ...
