Maraging Steel Alloy Options
Magellan Metals offers several grades of maraging steel alloys that are available in a wide range of formats including wire, plate, sheet, pipe fittings, bar, flanges, and more. View the individual product pages below for more information about the chemical analysis, available formats, and applications for each grade of maraging steel alloy.- Vascomax® 250 – Exhibits good ductility at high strength levels and is readily welded, providing excellent cleanliness and polishability.
- Vascomax® 300 – This vacuum induction melted and vacuum arc re-melted, low-carbon, nickel-cobalt-molybdenum high-temperature nickel alloy actively resists corrosion and crack propagation.
- Vascomax® C350 – A relatively soft nickel-maraging alloy, Vascomax® C350 is readily machined and formed while allowing close machining with minimal distortion.
Maraging Steel Alloy Advantages
Maraging steel is an ultra-high strength, low-carbon steel that provides a high value for critical parts in aerospace, structural, component and tooling applications. Maraging steel provides the following beneficial qualities:- High fatigue strength
- Increased workability
- Excellent yield & tensile strength
- Good toughness & ductility
- Enhanced weldability
- Heat treatment features
- High fatigue strength
Maraging Steel Applications
Maraging material also has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio so it can be used for numerous defense and military purposes. Some of the applications that maraging alloys are generally used for, include:- Dies
- Pistons
- Shafts
- Aerospace and aircraft parts
- Mandrels
- Rocket motor cases
- Auto racing parts
- Recoil springs
- 3D printed parts
Maraging Steel Alloy Chemical Properties
The chemical composition of maraging steel is generally high in nickel, cobalt, and molybdenum. The carbon content in maraging steel’s chemical composition is considered an impurity and is generally kept to values of less than 0.03 per cent. The following table describes the chemical compositions of the different alloy grades of maraging steel.| Grade | Ni % | Mo % | Co % | Ti % | Al % |
| Vascomax® 250 | 18.5 | 4.8 | 7.5 | 0.40 | 0.10 |
| Vascomax® 300 | 18.5 | 4.8 | 9.0 | 0.60 | 0.10 |
| Vascomax® 350 | 18.5 | 4.8 | 12.0 | 1.40 | 0.10 |
Additionally, the AMS and MIL specifications for Magellan Metals maraging steel alloys are:
Maraging C250 — AMS 6512; MIL-S-46850D
Maraging C300 — AMS 6514; MIL-S-46850D
Maraging C350 — AMS 6515; MIL-S-46850D
Maraging Steel Machinability
Due to its excellent mechanical properties and good workability, maraging steel alloys provide enhanced machinability over other types of steel alloys. The low efficient of expansion minimizes heat checking, providing longer tool life and superior pitting and corrosion resistance.Maraging Steel Alloy Supply Quantities for Single Items or Full Bills
