Corrosion properties of rolled products made of new low-alloy high-strength steels

It is shown that, in terms of the corrosion rate in the atmosphere, corrosion resistance in numerous acid, alkali, and salt solutions, corrosion-cracking resistance, and corrosion-fatigue resistance, the rolled products made of G2S-and KhS-type low-alloy high-strength steels with carbonitride hardening are on the same level as (or even better than) the rolled products of 09G2D commercial steel of lower strength used in the construction of railway cars.
