Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing martensitic steel that comprises a content of other metals such that the steel can be hardened by an intermetallic compound and carbide precipitation, with an Al content of between 0.4% and 3%, comprising the following steps: The temperature Tis substantially lower than the martensitic transformation temperature Mf, and the time t during which said steel is kept in said cryogenic medium at a temperature Tfrom the moment when the hottest part of the steel reaches a temperature lower than the martensitic transformation temperature Mf is at least equal to a non-zero time t, the temperature T(in ° C.) and the time t(in hours) being linked by the equation T=ƒ(t), the first derivative of the function ƒ relative to t, ƒ'(t), being positive, and the second derivative of ƒ relative to t, ƒ″(t), being negative.
