5.4Cr-1.8Mo-11.4Ni Low Alloy Steel

metal

This is a precipitation-hardening nickel-chromium-molybdenum low alloy steel, strengthened through martensitic transformation and age-hardening mechanisms. The high nickel content (11.4%) combined with chromium and molybdenum provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and toughness at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures. Commonly used in aerospace landing gear, high-strength fasteners, and defense applications where demanding fatigue, impact, and environmental resistance are required; it competes favorably with maraging steels and titanium alloys in cost-sensitive applications requiring both ultra-high strength and damage tolerance.

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
