New high-strength steels

Steels have found wide application in modern aircraft and are the profile materials in some structures. They are used when a high specific strength, rigidity, fatigue limit, and high-temperature strength are required, for example, in the production of wing bars, longerons, ribs, landing gear parts, and gear transmission mechanisms. Steels used in the aircraft industry should possess high parameters of fracture toughness, crack resistance under static and cyclic loads, and corrosion resistance (for the all-climatic variant) with preservation of a high adaptability to manufacturing (weldability, forgeability, processability).[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
