A forgeable austenitic stainless steel alloy and forging process capable of producing forged components (14) that exhibit mechanical and environmental properties and metallurgical stability suitable for use in thermally and chemically hostile environments, such as the environment of a component (14) of a gas turbine engine shroud assembly (10). The alloy contains, by weight, 18.0 to 22.0% chromium, 8.0 to 14.0% nickel, 4.0 to 7.0% manganese, 0.4 to 0.6% silicon, at least 0.2 up to 1.0% nitrogen, at least 0.05 up to 0.075% carbon; up to 0.3% molybdenum, up to 1.0% niobium, up to 0.2% cobalt, up to 4.5% aluminum, up to 0.1 % boron, up to 0.1 % vanadium, up to 1.0% tungsten, and up to 5.0% copper, with the balance iron and incidental impurities.
