0.05C 16.8Ni-1.2Mo Low Alloy Steel

metal

This is a low-alloy steel with exceptionally high nickel (16.8%) and significant vanadium (2.2%) and titanium (2.36%) additions, combined with molybdenum strengthening—a composition that suggests development for ultra-high-strength structural applications requiring both strength and toughness. The material sits in the family of maraging and precipitation-hardening steels, designed for applications where conventional alloys reach performance limits. This type of alloy is typically found in aerospace landing gear, pressure vessels, and military ordnance where designers need to minimize weight while maintaining damage tolerance and fatigue resistance; engineers would select it over standard structural steel or conventional stainless grades when weight savings and extreme strength justify the material cost and processing complexity.

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
