Experimental work on the spot welding of Maraging Steels revealed a surprisingly low level of strength - both in the as welded and in aged conditions. This appeared unusual since in the welding of these materials by other welding processes (TIG,MIG) the strength level is almost that of the base material. The maraging steel C250 investigated had the composition: 18wt%Ni, 8wt%Co, 5wt%Mo and additions of Al and Ti. It has a nominal tensile strength of 250 KSI. The heat treated structure of maraging steel is lath martensite the final high strength is reached by aging treatment at 485°C for 3-4 hours. During the aging process precipitation takes place of Ni3Mo and Ni3Ti and an ordered solid solution containing Co is formed.Three types of spot welding cycles were investigated: multi-pulse current cycle, bi-pulse cycle and single pulsle cycle. TIG welded samples were also tested for comparison.The microstructure investigations were carried out by SEM and EDS as well as by fractography. For multicycle spot welded maraging C250 (without aging), the dendrites start from the fusion line towards the nugget centre with an epitaxial growth region of various widths, as seen in Figure 1.

More than 25 years have passed since Intermetallic Compounds, edited by Westbrook, was published. Since that time, enormous advances have been made in the understanding and usage of intermetallic compounds. It is known that intermetallic compounds are generally brittle. Thus, alloys that contain intermetallics may also be brittle. However, many intermetallic compounds are known to have extraordinary functions and characteristics that are not observed in ordinary metals and alloys. Thus, they function as magnetic materials, superconductors, semiconductors, hydrogen absorbing alloys, shape memory alloys, and so on.Many high-strength structural alloys like maraging steels and duralumins are strengthened by fine precipitates of intermetallic phases. Nickel-based superalloys, which are used for airplane-engine parts, contain 60-70% of Ni3Al-based intermetallics by volume fraction and exhibit high strength at high temperatures. Hard metals, which are used for cutting tools, are composed of a large amount of hard but brittle intermetallics like WC and a small amount of ductile cobalt. Intermetallic compounds like TiAl are also investigated for their applications as structural materials where high strength at high temperatures is required.In a strict sense, intermetallic compounds are composed of two or more metallic elements. In a wider sense, they are composed of metallic and/or semimetallic elements. Each is characterized by an ordered arrangement of two or more kinds of atoms, that is, the formation of a superlattice, and have various kinds of interatomic bonding, ranging from metallic to covalent or ionic bonding. The ordering of atoms and the strong interatomic bonding result in many attractive properties for intermetallic compounds.

Abstract An investigation was made of the susceptibility to cracking of two commercial 350 grades of maraging steel. Tensile tests were carried out on samples of the steels at very slow strain rates, and the load at failure was used to assess the susceptibility of the steels to cracking in an environment of gaseous uranium hexafluoride and hydrogen fluoride at 70 C. Good resistance to cracking was observed in dry uranium hexafluoride gas but cracking occurred when hydrogen fluoride was present at partial pressures above about 1 kPa. The failure stress decreased with increasing pressure of hydrogen fluoride. Scanning electron microscopy revealed brittle fracture surfaces in all cases where failure occurred at low stress, while failures at high stress were usually ductile in appearance. In view of the susceptibility of these steels to hydrogen embrittlement, it is suggested that the mechanism of failure in the presence of HF was associated with reaction-produced hydrogen. Oxide coated samples prepared by air aging, did not have significantly better resistance to cracking than vacuum aged Samples in the UF6/HF environment.

Maraging steels have attractive combination of strength and toughness making them ideal choice for a number of structural applications. In one such application, this steel was used to fabricate shear bolts in an interstage of a satellite launch vehicle. Four numbers of these shear bolts were found to fail exactly at the head-shank interface under assembly condition. The failure has occurred when the structure was assembled with bolts to the specified torque of 43N-m. Detailed investigations revealed that the fasteners were under assembly loads and exposed to marine environment. The cracks initiated at the corrosion pits located at the head-shank interface propagated inwards in a transgranular mode. Fractography revealed brittle transgranular features with cleavage facets and corrosion products on the fracture surface. The EDS analysis at the corrosion pits near the fracture edge indicated the presence of chlorine. Based on detailed metallurgical analysis, it was concluded that the shear bolts failed due to the “Stress Corrosion Cracking”.

The creep rupture behavior, and the effects of elevated temperature exposure in air and hydrogen on the subsequent room temperature properties of a 12 percent Ni-5 percent Cr-3 percent Mo maraging steel are described. Tests have been made on several heats of plate and on gas tungsten-arc, gas metal-arc, and electroslag welds. On the basis of the results obtained, maraging steels offer promise as high-strength steels for service at elevated temperatures.
