Abstract
The positive influence of microadmixtures of rare-earth metals on the strength, plasticity, impact toughness, and cyclic crack-growth resistance of 17G1S pipe steel is discovered. The decomposition of the impact toughness into the work of crack initiation $$ {a_i} $$ and the work of crack propagation $$ {a_p} $$ made it possible to discover the following specific features in the temperature dependences of $$ {a_p} $$ : at elevated testing temperatures guaranteeing the ductile fracture of steel, the positive effect of alloying by REM is preserved. At the same time, at lowered temperatures of brittle fracture, this effect becomes negative and the work $$ {a_p} $$ decreases. Distilled water somewhat decreases the cyclic crack-growth resistance of steel and the positive effect caused by the REM admixtures manifests itself only in the increase in the cyclic fracture toughness of steel.
