Maraging 350, C350, 1.6355, 1.6356, UNS S35000 is a 18% nickel maraging steel which contains Cobalt as the primary strengthening agent. Maraging 350 has excellent mechanical properties, workability and heat treatment characteristics, cobalt strengthened steel (C-type) with excellent properties, workability and heat treatment characteristics, Maraging is double vacuum melted by VIM (Vacuum Induction Melt) followed by VAR (Vacuum Arc Remelt). Maraging material is supplied in the annealed and descaled condition. The alloy is very tough, relatively soft (RC 30/35), readily machined or formed. Maraging provides a high value for critical parts in aerospace, structural, component and tooling applications.. Maraging 350 is used for missile and rocket motor cases, landing and takeoff gear components, high performance shafting, gears and fasteners.
