Forged products pose unique challenges due to part complexity and product uniformity. Also the different thicknesses present within one piece necessitate that the effect of quenching be part of new product development. This talk will present results from a portfolio of alloys being explored to cover different performance targets for different thickness ranges. The performance of new alloys such as C99N and others will be covered in detail
