Governments, the insurance industry, designers, and end users are demanding better structural materials with improved energy absorption, fracture toughness, and fatigue properties in response to seismic, fire, and extreme-weather events. Within the building, bridge, and rebar sector, there is a shift toward lower carbonniobium (Nb) containing steels, which meet these demands with significantly improved toughness, formability, consistency, energy absorption, and weldability. The increased strength and toughness of Nb-containing infrastructure steels enable a reduction in size and weight of structural products resulting in lower transportation, fabrication, and erection costs; a reduced carbon footprint; and a more efficient project build.
