A precipitation-hardened martensitic stainless steel containing 13.5% chromium, 5.34% molybdenum, and elevated carbon (0.479%) with cobalt additions, designed for ultra-high strength applications requiring corrosion resistance. This variant represents a specialized composition optimized for aerospace, defense, and industrial tooling where exceptional hardness and fatigue performance must be maintained in corrosive or marine environments. The Mo-Co-C combination enables strength levels significantly above standard 400-series martensitic stainless steels while preserving inherent corrosion resistance, making it a premium choice where weight savings and wear resistance justify the material cost.
