9Ni-4Co-0.20C Steel Q&T

Verifiedmetal

9Ni-4Co-0.20C steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel containing 9% nickel and 4% cobalt designed for cryogenic and ultra-high-strength aerospace applications, with the Q&T (quenched and tempered) condition providing yield strengths in the 1,400–1,650 MPa range and excellent toughness at temperatures down to -196°C. Specified per AMS 6523 for use in missile motor cases, rocket bodies, and other critical structural components requiring superior strength-to-weight ratios and fracture toughness in extreme environments.

Quality & Standards

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.
