The influence of operat-ing factors on the durability and reliability of a diaphragm made of corrosion-resistant maraging steel is investigated. It is shown that to increase the operational reliability of the compressor's diaphragm elements; it is recommended to use a material, the structure of which contains a certain amount of work-hardened retained austenite. This makes it possible to undergo additional martensitic transfor-mation under the action of peak loads in local areas and increases the structural strength of corrosion-resistant steel for the manufacture of a compressor diaphragm.
