Abstract

The disclosed martensitic stainless steel is defined in its composition is by specified ranges of weight percentages of C; Mn; Si; ≤Mn+Si; ≤S; 10,000×Mn×S; P; Cr, with [Cr−10.3−80*(C+N)]≤(Mn+Ni); Ni; Mo; Mo+2W; Cu; Ti; V; Zr; Al; O; Ta; Nb; (Nb+Ta)/(C+N); Nb; N; Co; Cu+Co; Cu+Co+Ni; B; rare earths+Y; Ca; the remainder being iron and impurities resulting from processing. Its microstructure includes at least 75% martensite, at most 20% ferrite and at most 0.5% carbides, the size of the ferrite grains being between 4 and 80 μm, preferably between 5 and 40 μm. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing such steel.
