13Ni-13Co-0.7Ti Maraging Steel
metalThis is a nickel-cobalt maraging steel, a precipitation-hardening iron-based superalloy engineered for ultra-high strength with maintained toughness at modest temperatures. The alloy combines a martensitic iron matrix (~62% Fe) with significant nickel (13%) and cobalt (13%) hardeners, plus chromium for corrosion resistance and titanium for age-hardening via intermetallic precipitation, making it belong to the 18Ni maraging family adapted for enhanced cobalt content. This material is used in aerospace and military applications requiring exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and damage tolerance—such as landing gear components, structural fasteners, and high-performance tooling—where it outperforms conventional tool steels and stainless steels by delivering superior strength without brittleness, though at higher cost and requiring controlled heat treatment protocols.
