Results of a complex study of the kinetics of transformations, structure, and characteristics of mechanical properties of low-carbon alloy steels are used to formulate principles for designing chemical composition. The principles make it possible to lower the factor of carbon activity and to raise the resistance of the system to diffusion relaxation, which promotes dispersion of the structure in heat treatment.
