We use 17-4 PH or A286 for our high strength applications. To reduce gaulling consider Nitronics 80.

How can you say that AerMet alloys lack fracture toughness? They are among the toughest materials available. For example, with ultimate tensile strength of 1700 MPa, the fracture toughness is 150 MPa m0.5. With ultimate tensile strength of 2100 MPa, the fracture toughness is 60 MPa m0.5. There really aren't many other options for high strength, high toughness materials.

RE: Extra High Strength Steel
For any given high strength steel, these are mostly new generation alloys and lack comprehensively rugged properties. You should inquire from the manfacturer those properties pertinent to your application environment. Some of these steels have excellent strength while lacking other key traits.

I do know that Aermet 100 has concerns with corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement.
RE: Extra High Strength Steel
Consider something more like 15-5PH or another stainless steel rather than 4340M or Aermet.
