Abstract: The toughness of a martensitic, air-hardening steel is increased by a novel combination of steps practiced in the course of hot working a billet of the steel. After a partial reduction of the billet the billet is reheated to a temperature at which carbides are dissolved, whereupon the reheated billet is worked to final dimension under conditions to bring about a complete recrystallization in the workpiece, after which the reduced workpiece is cooled so rapidly that precipitation of carbides in the austenite grain boundaries is substantially avoided.
