terased, mis võrreldes süsinikterastega sisaldavad selliseid legeerelemente nagu Ni, Cr, Mo jt (üksikult kuni 5%) ja omavad suurepäraseid mehaanilisi omadusi (vrd kõrglegeerteras)
Hea teada
Terased peale süsinikteraste, millede legeerelementide minimaalne sisaldus peab vastama vähemalt legeerteraste spetsifikatsioonis toodule.
a category of ferrous materials that exibit mechanical properties superior to plain carbon steels with such alloying elements as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum etc less than 5% by weight (compare: high-alloy steel)
Hea teada
Steel, other than carbon steel or interstitial-free steel, that conforms to a specification that requires the minimum content for each specified alloying element to be lower than the applicable limit in the definition for alloy steel.
