Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have conducted a comprehensive study on how alloy elements interact with carbon and nitrogen in steel. Led by Associate Professor Tokuteru Uesugi, the team explored 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, including titanium and aluminum, using computational simulations. Their findings reveal that the placement and size of alloy elements significantly impact the bonding with carbon and nitrogen, enhancing the hardness and durability of steel. These insights could lead to the development of superior steel materials for various applications.
