文摘New forms steel is few and far between.In this lecture I will illustrate three discoveries which have the potential of making significant new contributions to the applications of steel as an engineering material.One of these discoveries deals with the first ever bulk nanostructured metal which can be made on a large scale,cheaply and with properties which are superior to carbon nanotubes.The second is a highly formable steel whose properties are not matched by any available today.And the third,a welding material which is designed to transform in such a way that residual stresses are eliminated from joints.
