Providence,RI,USA -Gizmag, by Antonio Pasolini -August 15, 2012: -- With fuel costs continuing to rise, the search is on for ways to make cars lighter and improve fuel efficiency, without compromising strength and safety. NanoSteel, a Rhode Island-based company recently announced the development of new nano-structured advanced high-strength alloys whose strength and ductility meet automotive structural demands... NanoSteel has developed three classes of steel with tensile strengths of 950 MPa, 1,200 MPa and 1,600 MPa and elongation performance of 35, 30 and 15 percent, respectively. NanoSteel... This is thanks to the material’s inherent ductility, that is, its ability to deform under tensile stress, which allows the forming of component parts using room temperature metal stamping processes on existing manufacturing equipment... NanoSteel’s technology has caught the eye of GM Ventures, a General Motors subsidiary created to invest in new and promising automotive technologies...Labels: technology
