A low-carbon martensitic armour steel comprises at least Fe, C, Si and Ni and has a ratio of yield strength to ultimate tensile strength of less than 0.7. The steel includes retained austenite at a volume fraction of at least 1%. The low-carbon martensitic armour steel can be prepared by subjecting a steel which comprises at least Fe, C, Si and Ni and which has a martensite start temperature of less than 210° C. to an austenisation heat treatment step at a temperature of at least 800° C., quenching the steel, and subjecting the steel to a tempering step at a temperature of less than 300° C.
