Zusammenfassung:A composition and method for the manufacture of products of a precipitation hardenable martensitic stainless steel, the composition of which comprises at least 0.5 % by weight of Cr and at lea st 0.5 % by weight of Mo wherein the sum of Cr, Ni and Fe exceeds 50 %. The method steps include smelting the material into a casting, hot extrusion followed by a number of cold deforming steps so as to obtain at least 50 % martensite and finally an agei ng treatment at 425-525 .degree.C to obtain precipitation of quasicrystalline particles. Such materiel can be used in vehicle components where demands for corrosion resistance, high strength and good toughness are to be satisfied.
