clusion concerning the effect of only one element re-
garding its coefficients. Indeed, this work highlights the
fact that the interaction of these 3 elements has a strong
impact on the behavior of the room temperature de-
formed steel during anticorrosion treatment. This model
allows the drawing of 2D diagrams showing the variation
of y versus two of the three elements and with the third
fixed. As examples, these tendencies are commented on.
