Conclusions
An increase of the austenitizing temperature with TMT of secondary-hardening steel 40Kh5MVFS, as in the case of SHT, increases the strength up to a certain limit. The negative influence of the increase in the austenite grain size on the ductility of the steel is smaller in the case of TMT than in SHT.
