Japanese NIMS develops 1,500MPA alloy steel

Japanese official research organization for metals and other materials, National Institute for Materials Science announced that it developed low alloyed steel with 1,500 mega pascal of tension strength and better performance against impact strength.

As per report, National Institute for Materials Science succeeded to develop the material by using original heat treatment technology.

The new steel paves the way for making high tensile steel bar with flexibility as wood. They expect the technology could enable to make super high tensile steel bolt and shaft with 2,000 mega pascal strength.
