THIRD MARAGING STEEL PROJECT REVIEW.

Abstract

This report consists of a series of papers on the technical progress achieved on low-carbon, highnickel, maraging steels up to July 1963. Information on microstructure, mechanical properties, forming, welding, forging and casting of maraging steels is given. The applicability of these steels to rocket motor cases is discussed. The influence of processing variables and fabrication processes on mechanical properties is given. Plate, in a variety of thicknesses, is extensively evaluated, and sheet to a lesser degree. Other aspects of maraging steel technology, such as the castability of maraging steel by the monoshell process and the use of maraging steel in elevated temperature airframe design, are examined.
