Conclusions 1. The corrosion resistance of carbon steel in water is increased by the addition of 0.10–0.16% Zr. 2. The increase of the corrosion resistance of steel containing zirconium is due to the decrease of the activity of the anodic process resulting from the increase of the thermodynamic stability of the anodic phase or its passivation. 3. The effect of zirconium on the cathodic process manifests itself in the formation of a large number of microcathodes which do not affect the corrosion rate.
