Low-Alloy Steel

Low alloyed steels are steels containing a low percentage (generally up to 8 %) of alloying elements (Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Manganese, Vanadium, etc.). The addition of these alloying elements gives specific attributes to the low alloyed steels, for example, Mo increases material strength, Ni adds toughness, Cr improves temperature strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion. The low alloyed steels are widely used in a large number of industrial applications such as earthmoving and construction equipment (cranes), ships, submarines, bridges, pipelines, oil drilling platforms, pressure vessels.
