7Ni-12Co Maraging Steel
metal7Ni-12Co Maraging Steel is an iron-nickel-cobalt precipitation-hardened steel designed for ultra-high-strength applications requiring excellent toughness and dimensional stability. This grade combines high cobalt content (12.3%) with nickel and molybdenum additions to enable age-hardening without sacrificing ductility—a critical advantage over conventional high-strength steels that often become brittle. It is used in demanding aerospace, tooling, and precision manufacturing sectors where weight savings and reliability under shock or fatigue loading justify the premium material cost, and it is valued for applications requiring both strength and damage tolerance that cannot tolerate delayed cracking or stress-corrosion sensitivity.
