What’s up guys? This is Michael with Michael Talks Metals back for more maraging madness! Today our Video topic is another of the Maraging family of steel alloys. Before we jump in, if you like the video SMASH that like button and if you feel so inclined and have yet to do so, please subscribe. It would help support the channel and for that, we’d be grateful! Let’s do this! Today our Video topic is another of the Maraging family of steel alloys.

Like the other members of this family, Maraging 250 is a high strength Iron base alloy of Nickel, Cobalt, and Molybdenum. The addition of Titanium and Aluminum  provide the ability to age harden with a simple low temperature heat treatment.  UNS designation for this alloy is K92890.

A stable low carbon martensitic structure provides good fabricability in the solution treated or annealed condition and can be readily welded.

In aerospace applications it is used for parts requiring high strength with toughness in the final heat treated condition and is Consumable Electrode Melted for cleanliness to AMS 2300 quality requirements.

Both the annealed and solution treated conditions create a stable martensitic structure and would normally be performed at the producing mill.

Typical age hardening of the fabricated parts is performed at 900 deg F for 4 to 6 hours at temperature to develop the high strength final condition.
