The strength and the plasticity properties of sheet high-strength austenitic–martensitic VNS9-Sh TRIP steel (23Kh15N5AM3-Sh) are studied as functions of the tempering temperature in the range 125–600°C. A nonmonotonic decease in the strength and the plasticity properties of the steel has been detected when the tempering temperature increases, and they increase in the range 300–450°C. The influence of aging processes, the precipitation of carbide, and the phase transformations in tempering on the mechanical properties of austenitic–martensitic corrosion-resistant steel is discussed.
