High strength - low alloy steel comprises a specific group of steel with chemical compositions specially developed to impart higher mechanical property values and greater resistance to atmospheric corrosion than are obtainable from conventional carbon structural steels containing copper. High strength - low alloy steels is generally produced to mechanical property requirements rather than to chemical compositions limits. For statistical purposes all steels falling within the scope of the foregoing definition are considered to constitute an exception to alloy steels as usually defined and have, therefore, been included in the "carbon" grades rather than "alloy" in Table 18 - for special breakdown see Table 19.
