Maraging Steel C250
Combining strength & toughness
C250 maraging steel offers very high strength and above-average toughness.
We supply Maraging steel 250 in the annealed condition where the microstructure consists of fine martensite. Final properties are achieved as a result of the precipitation-hardening process to produce a very high-strength steel product with a nominal tensile strength of 250 ksi. The alloy also benefits from good notch impact toughness to temperatures below 50°C. The product is readily weldable, and the material can also, be machined close to finished dimensions.
Advantages:
Maraging steels benefit from many positive features, including strength, toughness, machinability, crack resistance, corrosion resistance and plasticity, compared to standard steel alloys. Such attributes are achieved without a loss in ductility. Maraging steels are also readily weldable.
Motorsport Applications:
We supply Maraging Steel for motorsport applications, which include crankshafts, gears, torsion bars and chassis components. The alloy should be considered for applications requiring strength and toughness where weight is not a consideration.
References:
Maraging 250 steel alloy is also referred to as C250 or UNS K92890.
