Testing Mechanochemical Properties of Lean Alloyed, Stainless, and Carbon Steels

This article provides the results of testing the mechanochemical properties of grade 20 carbon steel, grade 12H18AN6M3TL stainless steel, and nitrogen- and boron-alloyed lean alloyed steels. It is shown that grade 05H18AN6M2FL lean alloyed steel exhibits the best mechanochemical properties; moreover, boron microadditives to grade 05H18AN5FL steel improve its mechanochemical specs and the specimens of the test steels do not exhibit any signs of corrosion cracking.
