Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2857531A2] A method of forming a shaped article. The method comprises providing a pre-form 40 comprising a chromium molybdenum vanadium steel alloy, heat treating the pre-form to obtain a surface hardness of between 420 and 480 according to the Vickers hardness test, and, subsequent to the heat treating step, flow forming the pre-form 40 to shape the pre-form.
