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

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 vehicle weight while ensuring efficient motor operation. High-performance steel materials can enhance the quietness of rides and withstand the wear from high-speed motor rotations. Optimizing the steel modification process, which involves enriching the surface with carbon, nitrogen, and alloy elements, is crucial for producing these advanced materials.
