Abstract (en)

A high strength steel belt (1) having an excellent flatness and a duplex structure of austenite and martensite has been prepared by a process which comprises providing a cold rolled or cold rolled and annealed strip of a martensitic structure from low carbon martensitic stainless steel containing from 10 to 17 % by weight of Cr and having a carbon content of not exceeding 0.15 % by weight, connecting ends of the strip or ends of a plate cut from said strip to provide an endless belt, causing the endless belt to circularly move between rolls (2,3) under tension and to repeatedly pass through a heating furnace (4) where the belt is heated to a temperature within the range from (the As point of the steel + 30 DEG C.) to the Af point of the steel and not higher than 900 DEG C. so that a part of the martensitic phase may be changed to a reversed austenitic phase, and cooling the heated belt to ambient temperature.
