18Ni-7Co-3.1Mo-0.8Ti Maraging Steel
metal18Ni-7Co-3.1Mo-0.8Ti is a precipitation-hardening maraging steel engineered for ultra-high strength with controlled ductility, achieved through aging heat treatment rather than carbon content. This composition is used in aerospace and defense applications including rocket motor cases, landing gear, and high-performance tooling where weight savings and damage tolerance are critical; it is also employed in specialized industrial applications demanding both strength and toughness without brittleness. The material's combination of low carbon content, strategic alloying with cobalt and molybdenum, and age-hardening response makes it a preferred choice over conventional high-strength steels when high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fracture toughness must coexist.
