Abstract
High-strength sparsely-alloyed steel 06G2B meets the current requirements to materials for critical metal structures applied in construction and mechanical engineering. Comparative analysis of steel 06G2B and other steels usually used in the local metal structures has been performed. Results of investigation of service properties of 06G2B rolled stock and welded joints are presented. It is shown that the steel has a certain potential for application in fabrication of critical metal structures.
Keywords: high-strength sparsely-alloyed steel, microalloying, strength properties, cold resistance, weldability, critical building metal structures
