Abstract
The development of a new high-strength steel started from the needs of cold forging and continued into hot- and warm-forging areas. The steel has a ve ry low carbon content (< 0.1 % C) and chromium-boron alloying. Its hardenin g is simple: just water quenching without tempering. Hot forgings of this s teel are directly quenched from forging temperature, resulting in process c ost savings and weight reduction.
