"Super steel" breakthrough makes for stronger and tougher alloy
• arcleinThe super steel is made using a new deformed and partitioned method (D&P), and it gets its toughness from a unique design feature. When a fracture appears at the surface of the material, multiple tiny cracks form below it. These micro-cracks go on to absorb the energy from external forces, which prevents the main fracture from spreading too
