Aged 200 Maraging Steel vs. Aged 300 Maraging Steel
Both aged 200 maraging steel and aged 300 maraging steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the aged (precipitation hardened) condition. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is aged 200 maraging steel and the bottom bar is aged 300 maraging steel.
