This is a precipitation-hardened maraging steel (18% Ni-class equivalent) strengthened by cobalt, molybdenum, and titanium additions, designed to achieve high strength with useful toughness and damage tolerance. It is used primarily in aerospace and defense applications where components must withstand extreme loads while maintaining reliability—such as landing gear, rocket motor casings, and structural fasteners—and is chosen over conventional steels or titanium alloys when a combination of high yield strength, fatigue resistance, and repairability (via welding) is critical.
