This is a low-alloy maraging steel, a class of high-strength iron-nickel alloys hardened primarily through precipitation of intermetallic phases rather than carbon content. The high nickel content (17.1%) combined with molybdenum and trace titanium enables this steel to achieve very high strength levels with superior toughness and fatigue resistance compared to conventional carbon steels. Maraging steels are widely used in aerospace and defense applications where critical components require exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, dimensional stability during hardening, and reliable performance under cyclic loading and impact conditions.
