Abstract
The concept of investigations carried out to increase the reliability of metallic structures designed for operation in the conditions of low climatic temperatures is described. The worldwide tendencies in the investigation of the processes of the formation and fracture of materials and components at low climatic temperatures are analysed. The main methodological approaches, directed at ensuring high parameters of the service reliability of structures in low carbon, low alloy steels are outlined. The experimental data obtained in this area are analysed. The directions for further experimental and theoretical studies are indicated.
