18Ni-12Co-2.1Mo-2.3Ti Maraging Steel
metal18Ni-12Co-2.1Mo-2.3Ti maraging steel is a precipitation-hardened iron-nickel alloy engineered to achieve ultrahigh strength through a low-temperature aging heat treatment rather than carbon-based hardening. This material is used in aerospace, defense, and precision tooling applications where exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional stability are critical, particularly in landing gear, missile components, mold inserts, and high-performance fasteners. Engineers select maraging steels over conventional high-strength steels when weight reduction is essential, when toughness must be maintained at extreme strength levels, or when superior corrosion resistance and weldability are needed alongside high performance.
