The main feature of 18%Ni maraging steels is good tensile and toughness properties for various levels of resistance. The number accompanying the steel name matches its Theoretical Yield Strength at 0.2% strain in ksi. This unique characteristic is achieved by precipitation hardening, in a tough martensitic die, after a simple aging heat treatment. Used in a wide range of applications, such as racing cars, aerospace and military sectors, as well as in springs and tools.
