Characteristics of materials
- Steel belongs to low carbon maraging steel and age hardening plastic mold steel. The yield strength of steel is
-, abbreviated as
- grade, which corresponds to foreign
- grade. The mass fraction of maraging steel is very low (about
3
-), and the purpose is to improve the toughness of the steel. This steel has the advantages of high yield-to-strength ratio, good processability and weldability, and simple heat treatment process. However, due to the high content of precious metal elements such as
- and
-, they are expensive and are rarely used in China.
- The alloying elements that play the role of age hardening in maraging steel are titanium, aluminum, cobalt, and molybdenum. The main function of adding a large amount of nickel to
- is first to ensure that a single martensite can be obtained after quenching the solid solution, and secondly to form an aging strengthening ratio

- The mass fraction of nickel above
can also increase the fracture heat of maraging steel.
