From niche to commodity, 3Cr12: A ten-year scenario

This paper refers to steels that have evolved from ferritic stainless steels and that have been variously designated as “weldable ferritics” and “utility ferritics”. As these “new age” steels now bear such slight resemblance to the ferritics, we have chosen to refer to them as lean-alloy dual-phase (LADP) steels to distinguish them from their progenitors. © 1993 Walter de Gruyter & Co.
