Summary The factors controlling the strength and impact properties of predominantly ferritic structural steels including solid‐solution strengthening, ferrite‐grain size and precipitation strengthening, have been discussed. It has been shown how individual factors can be combined to give strong‐tough structural steels. Examples of commercial and experimental steels with high strength and good impact properties have been given.
