Then they began experimenting with dual-phase steel and found that its properties are well-suited to their purposes: it allows for thinner walls and lower weight; it has a high elongation factor which gives better formability; and it offers a greater spread between yield strength and tensile strength, so that it will bend easily in deep draw dies without breaking. The soft, pliable polyurethane tire has a tensile strength of 900 pounds per square inch and an elongation factor of 425 percent.
