Abstract

The individual and joint effects of alloying with copper, silicon, and molybdenum as well as titanium and niobium on the electrochemical corrosion and mechanical properties of chromium-nickel steel are investigated. It is shown that under the conditions of some corrosive media the chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel can be replaced by a steel additionally alloyed with silicon and copper and stabilized by titanium. The favorable role of copper, silicon, titanium, and niobium in the provision of high electrochemical corrosion and mechanical properties of the steel is discussed.
