Abstract
The applications of the Fe-Mn-Al-C steels in the automobiles is still not prevalent due to the lack of knowledge related to application properties so far. Above all, the reduced Young's modulus of these steels and the processing problems as a result of the high Al and high Mn contents are the main issues. The future developments will therefore have to concentrate on the alloying and processing strategies and also on the methods to increase the Young's modulus. An improved processing strategy and a high value for the Young's modulus will go a long way towards upscaling these steels to real automotive applications.
