Abstract: | Corrosion-resistant high-strength steels, which are widely used in various branches of industry, contain large amounts of expensive and scarce alloying elements (Ni, Mo, etc.). To attain high strength, such steels require complex treatment including subzero treatment, plastic deformation, and aging, which also makes them more expensive. It is a topical problem to design economical materials and to devise technologies of enhancing their strength while economizing resources.Azov State Technical University (Mariupol).
