Maraging Steel C350

High-strength steel alloy

Containing 12.0% cobalt and 4.8% molybdenum, C350 finds use in producing high-performance components.


Produced by vacuum arc re-melting, C350 provides a very high strength, nominally 350 ksi tensile (2415 MPa), with an above-average level of toughness. The alloy retains its tensile strength up to 450°C and good notch impact to minus 50°C and below. This material may be nitrided.

Availability:

We supply Maraging 350 in solid steel bars In the annealed condition where the microstructure consists of fine martensite before final heat treatment.

Machining & Welding:

Machining of C350 maraging steel is in the annealed condition; machining in the maraged condition is also possible. Components can be machined close to finished dimensions as the low-temperature maraging treatment results in minimal distortion. Weldability is good.

Motorsport Applications:

Typical motorsport applications for Maraging Steel C350 include driveshafts, mounting blocks, casings and components.
