Maraging 250 (UNS K92890)
Maraging 250 is an age hardenable iron-nickel steel alloy melted as VIM + VAR with ultra high strength and toughness. This alloy is easily machinable in the annealed condition prior to final heat treatment. This grade has improved fracture toughness from Maraging 300 but slightly less strength. The unique properties makes it suitable for many critical aerospace applications.
