App. No. 201610592044.7 filed on July 26, 2016. FIELD [0002] ‘This application relates to high strength stainless steel and, more particularly, to ultra-high strengch maraging stainless steel with salt-water corrosion resistance. The disclosed maraging stainless steel may be suitable for manufacturing structural parts intended for use in harsh corrosive environments, such as salt-water and the like, in which chloride ions are present. BACKGROUND [0003] Because of its corrosion resistance, stainless steel is widely used in machinery, the nuclear industry, aerospace, the building industry, and in various other civilian and military applications. ‘The economic and technological status of stainless steel is significant. With the development of science and technology, and progress of human civilization, optimization and improvement in the comprehensive performance of stainless steel has become an inevitable trend. [0004] The compositions and mechanical properties of various traditional stainless steels are presented in Tables 1 and 2.WO 2018022261 PCT/US2017/040660 TABLE 1 Nominal compositions of ultra-high strength (stainless) steels (wt%) Trademark Cc Cr_| Ni | Co | Mo | Ti | Mn Others 300M 04 [os [18 | — | 04 0.8 | Si (1.6) V (0.05) Custom475 | <0.01| 11.0| 8.0 [85 | 5.0 <05 | Al(1.0-1.5) 17-4PH <0.07) 17.0) 4.0 | ~ ae = | <1.0] Si (<1.0= Cu (4.0) PH13-8Mo | <0.05/13.0| 8.0 [| - | 20 | — | o we o 0h 0.8h ih 2h 4h Gh 8h 10h 12h 16h Time,h Fig. 4BWO 2018/022261 Potentials(V vs SCE) 1E-8 7/10 Example 1 1E-7 1E-6 16-5 PCT/US2017/040660 Exainple 2 Example 3 1E4 183 0.01 Current(A/cm’) Fig. 5WO 20181022261 PCT/US2017/040660 8/10 | OOCrISNI7 | CobMo4w aeWO 20181022261 PCT/US2017/040660 9/10 som | ctaano | 300M CM 400 | Steelof 45.5PH_ PH13-8 | q Fig. 6BWO 2018/022261 PCT/US2017/040660 10/10 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 Fig. 7INTERNATIONAL SEARCH REPORT Tatersational aplication No. PcTwust7/0860 ‘A, CLASSIFICATION OF SUBIECT MATTER IPC = 6220 38/18, 38/22, 28/28, 38/30, 98/40, 38/44, 38/50, 38/52; C21D 6/00, 8/00 (2017.01) ” c2ac 36/18, 38/22, 38/28, 38/30, 38/40, 38/44, 38/50, 38/52, 33/006; C21D 6/004, 8/005 According to Intemational Patent Classification (IPC) orto both national lasification and IPC.
