0.05C 5.1Cr-1.8Mo-11.7Ni Low Alloy Steel
metalThis is a precipitation-hardening low-alloy steel combining modest carbon content with significant chromium, molybdenum, and nickel additions, plus aluminum and titanium for age-hardening response. The composition targets high strength with retained toughness, typical of maraging-steel or custom aerospace/defense alloy families. Applications span landing gear, structural fasteners, turbine components, and other critical aerospace and power-generation systems where high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance are essential; the nickel-chromium-molybdenum core provides corrosion and oxidation resistance alongside strength, making it preferable to lower-alloy alternatives in harsh or elevated-temperature service environments.
