Stronger, Faster, Lighter: The New Steel That’s Powering Electric Vehicles

To advance automobile decarbonization, a research team at Osaka Metropolitan University analyzed how alloy elements like titanium improve steel’s performance by optimizing bonding processes, contributing to lighter, more durable electric motors. Calculations explore how twelve metals, including titanium, form bonds with nitrogen or carbon. Decarbonizing automobiles involves transitioning from gasoline engines to electric motors and incorporating high-quality steel components that reduce vehicl...
