Abstract
Special features of structure formation and mechanical properties of low-alloy martensitic steels with superequilibrium content of nitrogen and low content of carbon are considered. Experimental data on the effect of the temperature of heating for hardening and tempering on the structure, strength, and ductility of these steels are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of nitrogen into low-alloy martensitic steels instead of carbon are discussed. It is shown that steel 10Kh3A combines high strength with high ductility. This steel is considered as a material for heavily loaded parts and nonwelded structures instead of high-strength steels alloyed with Ni, Mo, V and other expensive and scarce elements.
