Maraging 300 Vascomax Steel

Martensitaushärtung 300

Vascomax® 300 | UNS K93120 | C-300 Steel

Maraging 300 is the most widely used grade in the maraging family. It provides an exceptional nominal yield strength of 300,000 psi (2068 MPa) while maintaining sufficient ductility for complex aerospace applications. It is an 18% nickel, cobalt-molybdenum steel.

  • Gebräuchliche Formulare: Round Bar, Forged Billet, Plate.
  • Hauptmerkmal: Ideal balance of extreme strength and functional ductility.
  • Heat Treatment: Low-temperature aging with minimal distortion.
  • Reinheit: Typically supplied as Double Melted (VIM-VAR).
Why Choose Maraging 300?

Maraging 300 is the "Gold Standard" for ultra-high-strength applications. While harder than Maraging 250, it retains enough fracture toughness to be used in critical rotating components and structural aerospace parts. Its unique chemistry allows it to be machined in the annealed condition and then hardened with virtually no dimensional change.

Ultra-High Strength

Achieves tensile strengths exceeding 300 ksi, significantly higher than conventional high-strength steels like 4340 or 300M.

Dimensional Stability

The aging process (900°F) causes negligible size change, allowing parts to be finished to tolerance before heat treatment.

Nitriding Capability

Can be nitrided to achieving high surface hardness for wear resistance, useful in gear and transmission applications.
