Microalloyed steel is widely used in the automobile sector and recently finding its place in the construction of buildings, bridges and pipelines. It is a special category of low carbon steel with high yield to tensile strength ratio due to the addition of alloying elements, which boost the microstructural and strength related properties of the steel. Tensile tests, chemical analysis, corrosion tests and the morphological studies have been conducted on Titanium microalloyed steel samples to study the mechanical and electrochemical aspects. From these studies, it is understood that the Titanium microalloyed steel has the potential in structural composites applications as the steel stabilities against corrosion is relatively good under chloride contaminated simulated concrete pore solution environment.
