0.14C Low Carbon Steel

This is a precipitation-hardening nickel-based superalloy with ~0.14% carbon, significant additions of vanadium, niobium, and titanium, and a nickel-rich matrix (~16.7% Ni). The alloying strategy—particularly the V, Nb, and Ti content—suggests this material is designed to form strengthening intermetallic phases while maintaining a low carbon content to reduce brittleness and improve workability. This composition profile is characteristic of advanced high-strength alloys developed for demanding aerospace and power-generation applications where elevated-temperature strength, fatigue resistance, and controlled ductility are critical.
