Micro alloys advance with care

Article Abstract:

Steels can be produced which are low in alloy content without loosing strength, making them ideal for use in the automobile manufacturing process. The key to the strength of low-alloy steels is the grain size of the austenite mineral, which has an affect on the distribution of carbides. Heating the steel in extremely high temperatures and then rapidly cooling will cystalize the austenite and produce ferrite. Pre-assembled car parts are light and strong when made from this strengthen steel.
