Purpose The aim of the paper is to determine the influence of the cold plastic deformation within the range 18-79% and heat treatment in a temperature range of 500 to 700°C on the microstructure and mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel grade X5CrNi18-8. Design/methodology/approach: The investigations included observations of the microstructure on a light microscope, researches of mechanical properties in a static tensile test and hardness measurements made by Vickers’s method. The analysis of the phase composition was carried out on the basis of X-ray researches. Whereas, X-ray quantitative phase analysis was carried out by the Averbach Cohen method. Finding Heat treatment of X5CrNi18-8 stainless steel in the range 500-700°C causes a significant decrease of the mechanical properties (R_m, R_p02) and increase of elongation (A). Hardness of investigated steel drops with decrease of cold working degree and increase of heat treatment temperature. Research limitations/implications The analysis of the obtained results permits to state that the heat treatment causes an essential changes of the microstructure connected with fading of cold deformation. Heating of cold rolled austenitic stainless steels can cause a reverse transformation a' → y Practical implications: Two-phase structure a’+y of austenitic Cr-Ni steel in deformed state working at elevated temperature undergo a transformation. It significantly influences mechanical properties of steel. Austenite phase undergoes a recrystallization, while martensite a’ phase undergoes reverse transformation. Originality/value: The analytic dependence of the yield point of the investigated steel on the cold working degree in cold rolling process has been confirmed. Revealing this relation is of essential practical importance for the technology of sheetmetal forming of austenitic steel.
