Table 1 Comparison of experimental alloys and other alloys on Young’s modulus, density and specific modulus, measured in this study.

Alloys	Young’s modulus / GPa	Density / g· cm^-3	Specific Young’s modulus / GPa cm³ g^-1
HSYM-HR	195 ± 1.5	7.03 ± 0.010	27.03
HSYM-DET	205 ± 5.0	7.02 ± 0.036	29.20
Fe-5Al	180 ± 9.8	7.29 ± 0.025	22.75
HSLA420	192 ± 3.4	7.78 ± 0.031	24.68

Fig. 5. Calculated weight saving under conditions of equal stiffness. Calculations are based on the weight of commercial automotive steel HSLA420 setting as 1, and the weight saving of HSYM-DET and Fe-5Al are labeled in the figure.
