Annealing in the intercritical area of the α → γ-transformation or hardening from a continuous furnace with subsequent tempering in the α → γ-transformation range included in the production plan for cold-rolled 08Kh15N5D2T tubing do not restore the original workability since the residual austenite is stabilized toward the γ → α-transformation in deformation. Annealing at 650°C does not lead to complete recrystallization and detexturing. To obtain this, it is recommended that rapid electric heating for hardening with subsequent tempering be introduced into the production plan for rolling of tubing.
