Obsah

Přehled

Maraging steel 350 powder is a precipitation-hardenable, martensitic steel powder designed for additive manufacturing, especially for applications requiring high hardness and strength alongside good ductility. It is known for its ultra-high strength from a unique blend of molybdenum, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, titanium and other alloying elements.

Maraging steels are unique due to their lower carbon content and higher availability of nickel-aluminum-molybdenum. The low carbon levels prevent segregation or precipitation of carbides, while the strong alloying promotes age hardening within the martensite matrix from the precipitation of intermetallic phases.

Key properties of maraging steel 350 powder:

  • Ultra-high tensile yield and ultimate strength
  • Dobrá tažnost a houževnatost
  • Vynikající lomová houževnatost
  • Vysoká tvrdost
  • Resistant to over-aging and dimensional changes at moderately high temperatures
  • Dobrá svařitelnost
  • Heat treatable to tailor properties
  • Dobrá obrobitelnost a leštitelnost

Maraging steel 350 finds uses across aerospace, aviation, defense, oil and gas, motorsports, tooling, molds, and die components. It allows engineers to reduce weight while maintaining performance and durability.

The ‘350’ designation refers to an ultimate tensile strength of 350 ksi or 2400 MPa from aging treatment. Higher strength variants like maraging steel 300 and maraging steel 550 are also available.

Složení

Maraging steel 350 powder typically has the following composition:

Maraging Steel 350 Powder Composition

Legující prvek Hmotnost %
nikl (Ni) 17-19
Kobalt (Co) 8-9
molybden (Mo) 4-5
titan (Ti) 0.6-0.8
hliník (Al) 0.05-0.15
uhlík (C) ≤ 0,03
mangan (Mn) ≤ 0.1
fosfor (P) ≤ 0.01
síra (S) ≤ 0.01
křemík (Si) ≤ 0.1
železo (Fe) Zůstatek

The strength in maraging steels comes from intermetallic precipitates that form during aging treatment, not from carbon-based carbides. Hence the carbon level is deliberately kept low.

Titanium is critical to produce the hardening Ni3Ti precipitates. Aluminum optimizes the activity of titanium by forming Ni3(Al,Ti) precipitates. The high nickel and cobalt content partition more strongly during quenching and enhance the kinetics of age strengthening.

The molybdenum adds solid solution strengthening. Impurities like silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur are minimized as they can reduce fracture toughness.

The remarkable ultra-high strengths are achieved through additional heat treatment and aging cycles which promote precipitation hardening.

Proper temperature and time of aging is critical to achieving the desired level of age hardening – overaging can cause reductions in strength and hardness.

In addition to strength, maraging steel parts also demonstrate good ductility, fracture toughness and resistance to fracture compared to other aerospace alloys. The strength-to-weight ratio is exceptionally high.

Aplikace

The unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio of maraging steel 350 makes it suitable for:

The lightweight yet exceptionally strong maraging steel 350 parts allow critical weight savings without sacrificing the extreme durability needed under dynamic working loads.

Heat treatment enables tailoring maraging steel properties for different applications – moderately high hardness for wear resistance, maximum yield strength for load-bearing or ballistic uses, or balanced strength and ductility.

By using 3D printing, complex geometries including lattices and cooling channels can be incorporated into maraging steel parts to further cut weight while retaining stiffness and performance. This is increasingly valued by industries like aerospace and motorsports racing.

Processing Maraging Steel Powder

Maraging steel powders possess good flowability and packing density, making them suitable for binder-jetting and laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing.

Parameters need to optimized to achieve high density prints with the desired mechanical properties.

Printing Parameters

Parametr Typický rozsah Role
Tloušťka vrstvy 20-50 μm Thinner layers improve resolution
Výkon laseru 100-400 W Melting of particles for consolidation
Rychlost skenování 100-1000 mm/s Balances density and build rate
Rozteč poklopů 80-150 μm Overlapping hatches for densification
Teplota práškového lože 100-150°C Minimizes residual stresses

Tepelné zpracování

Solutionizing followed by aging treatment is vital to achieve ultra-high strength in maraging steel 350.

Typical Heat Treatment Schedule

  • Solution annealing – Heat at 820-830°C for 1 hour and air cool
  • Precipitation hardening – Age at 480°C for 6 hours and air cool to room temperature

The temperatures and duration can be slightly adjusted based on part sizes and furnace limitations.

Most maraging steel parts require additional machining using processes like CNC milling or turning to achieve the tolerance and surface finish requirements demanded by end-use applications, especially in sectors like aerospace.

Srovnání s jinými materiály

Comparison with Stainless Steels

Síla 2-3X higher Up to 1000 MPa
Svařitelnost Srovnatelné Vynikající
Odolnost proti korozi Dolní Extremely high
Náklady 5-10x more expensive Lower cost per kg

While lacking corrosion resistance, maraging steel provides vastly higher strength compared to all series of stainless steels including Inconel superalloys. This makes it ideal for structural components.
