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 operati
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. To understand the interactions between elements in steel, a systematic investigation has been conducted by an Osaka Metropolitan University research group led by Associate Professor Tokuteru Uesugi of the Graduate School of Informatics.
