ECOLOGYCAL ASPECTS OF HIGH STRENGTH LOW ALLOYED STEELS AT MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

Mechanical properties, resistance to atmospheric corrosion, the availability of joining methods, beneficial economic and ecologic effects conditioned that this steel grade become very important from the aspect of application at mechanical constructions. But, ecologic effects of application are not simple and have complex interactions. The most important aspects are considered in order to identify possibilities for minimizing total ecological impacts of mechanical constructions to environment.
