Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in ...

Exploring magnetic steel's role in tech, from automotive to renewables, with insights into its magnetic properties and production advancements.

MIT researchers have developed a new material that's as strong as steel but as light as plastic.

DP steels contain islands of hard martensitic second phase in a ferritic matrix. Steel strength improves when the volume fraction of hard second phases increases.

On December 2, 2011, U.S. Military, government and industry officials witnessed a demonstration of a new missile warhead casing material at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Dahlgren ...

Key Concepts The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it ...

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.

MIT researchers have created a new material stronger than steel, light as plastic and seals tight enough that even gas can't get through.
