Cover Story: Nickel has been used as an alloying element for steel for more than a century. Its key function is increasing corrosion resistance in austenitic stainless steels. Adding nickel to ordinary carbon steels not only enhances strength but significantly improves low-temperature toughness. This is inherently related to the effect of “cold softening”. For demanding cryogenic applications, nickel-alloyed steels are subjected to double quenching and tempering treatments. Here, nickel helps to stabilize a phase fraction of retained austenite providing high fracture toughness. These superior properties of nickel alloyed carbon steels are crucially important in the global transition towards a green energy economy. View this paper
