Abstract
The influence of chromium content on the corrosion resistance of low-alloyed chromium steels is studied in 3% HF, 5% HCl, 0.75 M H2SO4 and 1.5 M HClO4 at 45 °C. The presence of chromium in the steels decreases their corrosion resistance in HF solutions, and to a lesser extent in sulphuric and perchloric acid solutions. There was a little effect in HCl solution
