I think if you do some searches of the old posts in the Busse forum you will find the composition of INFI. It might surprise you.
The heat treat is very extensive. It's called "Transversion Wave" tempering or something. Jerry has said this:
"cryo treatment (-300/320 degrees) which was done in a dry, controlled, atmosphere. This process allows us to take our blades down to temp. over the course of 10 hours hold them at temp. (-300 degrees) for approx 50 hours, and then bring them back up to room temp. over the course of the next 10 hours at which point they receive 3 more, individualized, oven tempers"
