Maraging 300

Maraging 300 steel is stronger than 250, but fracture toughness is slightly lower. The alloy offers high strength with a tensile strength of 2035 MPa. The strength and toughness characteristics of Maraging 300 are exceptional. Other performance benefits include excellent notch ductility, good ductility, outstanding weldability and good resistance to crack propagation. The steel alloy contains 9% cobalt and 4.8% molybdenum and is finished in the solution annealed delivery condition.

Mechanical Strength

The alloy retains its mechanical strength at elevated temperatures up to 450°C and high toughness with good notch impact toughness at -50°C. Maraging 300 steel can be machined to close dimensional tolerances because low-temperature maraging treatment results in an alloy with minimal distortion. Our product can also be nitrided if required.

Machining

Machinability of the alloys is good, primarily because steels of this type have low carbon content. Maraging 300 steel suffers no loss in malleability when machined and retains mechanical properties. Applications for this material include missile and rocket cases, actuators and aircraft landing gears.
