| Abstract: | | 1. | The nonuniform effect of average defect density and average stress level on the corrosion resistance of steel is due to evolution of a substructure and connected with it the nonuniform dependence of local internal stresses. | | 2. | A new test procedure for corrosion-mechanical strength provides quantitative estimates of the test results. | | 3. | Hot-working may be used in order to prepare articles intended for operation in corrosive media with high stresses. |
