Abstract
High-nitrogen steels (HNS) with more than 1 wt.% nitrogen and without manganese have been developed at the National Institute for Materials Science of Japan with the use of a pressure electroslag remelting device. Such steels have low content of impurities, high resistance to localized corrosion, and good mechanical properties. A possible mechanism for raising the resistance to localized corrosion by increasing the nitrogen content is considered.
