A high copper low alloy steel sheet less than 5 mm is made by preparing a molten melt producing an as-cast low alloy steel comprising by weight, 0.02 % to 0.3% carbon, 0.10% to 1.5% manganese, 0.01% to 0.5% silicon, greater than 0.01 % and less than or equal 0.15% phosphorus, less than 0.05% aluminum, more than 0.20% copper, less than 0.03 % tin, less than 0.10 % nickel, total oxygen level at least 70 ppm and usually less than 250 ppm, free oxygen content 20 to 70 ppm, the remainder iron and impurities, solidifying the melt into sheet less than 10 mm thickness in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to below 1080° C. Copper content may be between 0.2% and 2.0% by weight. The steel may have a corrosion index (I) of at least 6.0 in accordance with ASTM G101 where: I=26.01 (% Cu)+3.88 (% Ni)+1.20 (% Cr)+1.49 (% Si)+17.28 (% P)-7.29 (% Cu)(% Ni)-9.10 (% Ni)(% P)-33.39 (% Cu)<SUP>2</SUP>. The steel may be produced by twin roll casting, and may be less than 2 mm thickness.
