0.05C 17.3Ni-1.8Mo Low Alloy Steel
metalA low-carbon, nickel-molybdenum maraging steel designed for ultra-high-strength applications requiring excellent toughness and dimensional stability. This material combines very low carbon content (~0.05%) with substantial nickel (17.3%) and molybdenum (1.8%) additions, along with controlled amounts of vanadium and titanium, to achieve an age-hardenable microstructure with minimal distortion during heat treatment. It is widely used in aerospace, defense, and precision engineering where weight reduction, repeatability, and resistance to fatigue and stress-corrosion cracking are critical; maraging steels of this composition represent an established alternative to tool steels and precipitation-hardened superalloys when designers need the combination of very high strength with superior toughness and machinability.
