Formable substitute for Maraging 350
Formable substitute for Maraging 350
(OP)
I am looking for a material which is weldable and formable (spinning or deep draw) which is available in thin sheet (.025 to .031 inch) which is similar to maraging 350 in UTS. Any ideas out there? (also a source would be helpful)

Perhaps you can provide a little more background on the reasoning for this. Is this an existing application? Is a 350 maraging steel already being used? Why is a change necessary?

Depending on the shape, it might be worth contacting SPS (www.spstech.com) about using one of their multi-phase alloys. Those can be work hardened before aging to get properties approaching 300 ksi. They're very stainless and don't appear to get into trouble due to SCC or crevice corrosion. If it's a simple shape, it might just be possible that the forming op would put in enough cold work to approach the properties you want. However, these materials are aimed more at bar and forgings.
