6Ni-12Co Maraging Steel

metal

6Ni-12Co Maraging Steel is a precipitation-hardened iron-nickel alloy strengthened by cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium intermetallic phases, representing a high-strength variant within the maraging steel family. This alloy is used in aerospace and defense applications where exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and damage tolerance are critical, including landing gear, missile casings, and structural components in high-performance aircraft. Engineers select maraging steels over conventional high-strength steels when lightweight designs with superior fracture toughness and dimensional stability are required, and this cobalt-rich composition pushes the upper strength envelope while maintaining acceptable ductility for structural reliability.
