Low-alloy carbon steel for the manufacture of seamless pipes having improved resistance to corrosion, particularly the "sweet corrosion" that occurs in the media rich in CO.sub.2, for using in exploration and production of oil and/or natural gas. The steel contains: 1.5-4.0% by weight of Cr, 0.06-0.10% by weight of C, 0.3-0.8% by weight of Mn, not more than 0.005% by weight of S, not more than 0.015% by weight of P, 0.20-0.35% by weight of Si, 0.25-0.35% by weight of Mo, 0.06-0.9% by weight of V, approximately 0.22% by weight of Cu, approximately 0.001% by weight of Nb, approximately 0.028% by weight of Ti, not more than a total value of O of 25 ppm, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The process to manufacture seamless pipes comprises the stages of elaboration of a primary melt, followed by a secondary metallurgy stage with a strong desulfurization, addition of ferroalloys and chromium, and then the modification and flotation of the inclusions until the specified formulation is achieved; followed by casting, continuous hot-rolling, and optionally by normalizing, austenizing, quenching and tempering,

Acero de carbón poco aleado para la fabricación de las pipas inconsútiles que mejoran resistencia a la corrosión, particularmente la "corrosión dulce" que ocurre en los medios ricos en CO.sub.2, para usar en la exploración y la producción del aceite y/o del gas natural. El acero contiene: 1.5-4.0% en peso de el cr, 0.06-0.10% en peso de C, 0.3-0.8% en peso de el manganeso, no más que 0.005% en peso de S, no más que 0.015% en peso de P, 0.20-0.35% en peso de el silicio, 0.25-0.35% en peso de el MES, 0.06-0.9% en peso de V, aproximadamente 0.22% en peso de el Cu, aproximadamente 0.001% en peso de la NOTA, aproximadamente 0.028% en peso de el ti, no más que un valor total de O de 25 PPM, con el equilibrio siendo FE e impurezas inevitables. El proceso para fabricar las pipas inconsútiles abarca las etapas de la elaboración de un derretimiento primario, seguida por una etapa secundaria de la metalurgia con una desulfurización fuerte, la adición de aleaciones ferrosas y del cromo, y entonces la modificación y la flotación de las inclusiones hasta que se alcanza la formulación especificada; seguido por hot-rolling que echa, continuo, y opcionalmente por la normalización, el austenizing, apagando y templando,
