The critical technical challenges associated with achieving the high-strength steel objectives were discussed and technical approaches identified and prioritized. Ultrahigh-strength steels that are inherently corrosion-resistant do not exist today. The inability to more precisely control hydrogen uptake in production lot quantities is a significant challenge.

The technical challenges for each objective were categorized into the following areas: ** Mechanisms and modeling ** Manufacturing ** Materials qualification ** Design ** Return on investment Specific objectives ...
