What is maraging steel used for?
What is maraging steel used for?
Maraging steel is used in aircraft, with applications including landing gear, helicopter undercarriages, slat tracks and rocket motor cases – applications which require high strength-to-weight material. Maraging steel offers an unusual combination of high tensile strength and high fracture toughness.
What is maraging stainless steel?
Maraging stainless steels (MSS) are a class of high strength stainless steels with excellent comprehensive performances including high strength, superior corrosion resistance and good weldability, etc. In general, two methods are usually considered to increase the strength of MSS.
Who invented maraging steel?
Maraging steels were introduced during the 1940s by the International Nickel Company’s (Inco’s) Huntington Alloys of West Virginia.
What is maraging 300 used for?
Maraging 300 is an age hardenable (maraging) iron nickel stainless steel. Maraging 300 has exceptional strength, toughness and is resistant to crack propagation. Maraging 300 is used for tooling, transmission shafts, autosport components and light aircraft landing gear.
What is type C300 maraging steel?
Maraging Steel. Type C300 cobalt containing grade of maraging steel, produced by vacuum arc remelting, provides very high strength (nominally 300 ksi tensile) with an above average level of toughness. The alloy retains its strength up to 450°C and good notch impact is maintained down to minus 50°C and below.
What are the benefits of maraging 300 alloy steels?
Due to its low carbon content, Maraging steel 300 provides good machinability and the ability to be cold-rolled up to 90% without cracking. This material also provides excellent weldability when aged following treatment to the heat-affected zone. Additionally, Maraging 300 Alloy Steels meet the following specifications:
