IF-steels have a nearly complete fixation of all interstitial dissolved nitrogen and carbon atoms, i.e. neutralisation of N and C. The complete 'killing' of the steel is performed by the micro-alloying titanium and:or niobium. By this method, the N and C atoms are 'arrested' and all negative effects described by the 'Cottrell-Cloud' theory are very much reduced or even abolished: These are the upper- and lower-yield point (yield-point effect, discontinuous yielding), strain aging and blue brittleness.

Type of steel its cold rolled interstitial free high strength steel. Used for critical component of which strength also one of the concern.
An interstitial alloy is a type of metallic alloy that contains interstitial elements, which are small atoms or molecules that fit into spaces between the atoms of the host metal. These elements can occupy interstitial sites in the crystal lattice of the host metal, leading to changes in the properties and behavior of the alloy. Examples include steel, which is an interstitial alloy of iron and carbon.
Interstitial spaces
Interstitial compartments
Steel is an example of an alloy. To be exact an interstitial alloy which means that a much smaller element is inserted into the larger element to make an alloy which has heightened characteristics. Steel is comprised of iron and carbon. It's very strong, corrodes in harsh sunlight and rain.
The interstitial is the problem, the issue is not organization

The term "interstitial" refers to the space between tissues or cells in the body. In medicine, interstitial can describe conditions or diseases that affect or occur in these spaces, such as interstitial lung disease or interstitial cystitis.
interstitial growth
Iron is considered the solvent because it is the major component of steel, while carbon is the solute because it is dissolved within the crystalline structure of the iron matrix to create steel. The carbon atoms occupy the interstitial spaces between the iron atoms, enhancing the strength and hardness of the steel.
The two types of alloys are substitutional alloys, where atoms of different elements substitute for each other in the crystal structure, and interstitial alloys, where smaller atoms fit into the spaces between the larger atoms in the crystal structure.
