2. Physical and mechanical properties

2.1 Martensitic stainless steels

Martensitic stainless steels are almost always used in the quenched and tempered condition. The curves in figure 32 show the evolution of the mechanical properties: R m (breaking strength in N/mm 2 ), R p 0.2 (yield strength at 0.2% elongation), A (elongation in %) and KCU (Charpy U impact strength in daJ/cm 2 ) of grades representative of the different groups.
