Aged Grade 350 Maraging Steel

Aged 350 maraging steel is grade 350 maraging steel in the aged (precipitation hardened) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare aged 350 maraging steel to: maraging steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
