  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

The history, production experience and the current state of new generation high-strength cold-resistant steels in Russia are presented. The relevance of the development and mastering the production of high-strength sheet metal, which is strategically important for the Russian Federation, is considered, its main types are listed according to their intended end-use. The paper highlights the main leading Russian scientific schools, research institutes, scientific and technical organizations involved in the creation and study of the properties of this type of rolled products. Large Russian metallurgical enterprises producing cold-resistant high-strength sheet products are noted, foreign grades of cold-resistant high-strength steels and their leading world manufacturers are listed. Prospects and strategic directions for further development of research in the field of new compositions of high-strength cold-resistant steels are outlined.
