Steel has been used since long in the past, but there still remain many unexplored possibilities. In order to draw out this latent potential, the concept of materials integration is garnering attention in view of discontinuously improving the function and performance of steel products, while reducing the necessary development period. In this paper, considering the utilization of materials integration, the evolution of the microstructure during plastic deformation and phase transformation as well as controlling hydrogen embrittlement are discussed in terms of heterogeneity. In addition, a brief outlook on the future of materials integration is presented.
