0.05C 5.0Cr-1.6Mo-11.6Ni Low Alloy Steel

metal

This is a precipitation-hardening nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel with very low carbon content (0.05% C), formulated to achieve high strength while maintaining toughness and corrosion resistance through a combination of substitutional alloying and fine-scale hardening phases. The composition—particularly the elevated nickel (11.6%), chromium (5%), and molybdenum (1.6%) alongside trace additions of titanium, aluminum, and vanadium—is characteristic of maraging or secondary-hardening low-alloy steels designed for aerospace and precision engineering applications where weight efficiency and damage tolerance are critical. This material is chosen over conventional quenched-and-tempered steels or austenitic stainless steels when engineers need the damage-tolerance properties of a ferritic matrix with strength levels comparable to much harder alloys, and the fine grain structure supports excellent fatigue and impact performance in service.

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.
