Book excerpt: Various aspects of the physical metallurgy of the 18 % nickel maraging steels are discussed in this report in the light of the knowledge which has thus far been accumulated on these steels. The 18 % nickel type of maraging steel was singled out for discussion because of its especially attractive combination of strength and fracture toughness, the comparative simplicity with which it can be hardened, and the relative ease with which it can be formed and joined. The highnickel maraging steels are considered to be outstanding members of a loose-knit family of agehardenable or precipitation-hardenable martensitic steels. Some comparisons and analogies are drawn among various members of this family with particular reference to the 18% nickel steels. (Author).
