Maraging Alloy 300 - Ultra High Strength Iron-Nickel Cobalt Alloy

Maraging alloy 300 is a very high strength iron base, nickel, molybdenum, cobalt alloy. It may be age hardened to a strength level of 2068 MPa (300 ksi) ultimate with a hardness on the order of Rockwell C 53.

Maraging Alloy 300 Industry Standard

Maraging alloy 300 complies with the AMS 6514 industry standard and is also known as UNS K44220.

Applications of Maraging Alloy 300

The maraging alloy 300 is use in aircraft landing gear

Heat Treatment of Maraging Alloy 250

Hardening is accomplished by a simple aging cycle of 4 to 6 hours at 482°C (900°F) followed by air cooling. Alloy 300 provides through hardening without quenching, freedom from decarburization, minimal distortion during aging, good formability, machinability, and weldability and a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
