Sustainable, ultra-strong and ductile steel through advanced processing

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-01-sustainable-ultra-strong-ductile-steel-advanced.html

"sustainability, strength and ductility vs. costs and industrial applicability... compositionally lean medium-manganese steel... tensile strength 2.2 GPa at elongation of 20%... 2X energy absorption capacity of current steels... forging steps, cryogenic treatment and tempering strengthen material and make more ductile... transforms most of  austenite into laminated martensite that is 2X topologically aligned, and stabilizes remaining austenite... compatible with existing industry processes"
