Steels with a chromium content greater than 10,0% characterized by excellent mechanical properties due to the ageing process at set temperatures.

This treatment generates a sub-microscopic phase precipitation of an element (e.g. Cu, Ti) consistent with the martensitic matrix of steel, thus enhancing the mechanical properties.
