10Ni-12Co Maraging Steel
metal10Ni-12Co maraging steel is an iron-based alloy strengthened primarily through precipitation hardening of intermetallic phases rather than carbon content, making it a low-carbon, high-nickel steel with cobalt and molybdenum additions. It is widely used in aerospace, defense, and high-performance tooling applications where exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and dimensional stability are critical—particularly in rocket motor cases, landing gear, pressure vessels, and precision dies. Engineers select maraging steels over conventional high-carbon steels when ultra-high strength combined with toughness and the ability to achieve fine dimensional tolerances without distortion is required, and increasingly for additive manufacturing applications where its weldability and post-processing characteristics offer advantages over martensitic alternatives.
