OptiPowder C300

Continuum OptiPowders are produced by our proprietary M2P Gas Atomization System. This advanced plasma-based process transforms metal revert streams into high-quality spherical powder in a single step. By utilizing 100% recycled feedstock and green energy sources, this process significantly reduces the carbon footprint while delivering exceptional material performance.

Material Overview

Maraging Steel C300 is a high-strength, low-carbon, ultra-tough alloy known for its exceptional hardness, superior toughness, and excellent fracture resistance. Unlike conventional hardened steels, C300 achieves high strength through precipitation hardening rather than carbon content, making it both strong and highly machinable. It is widely used in aerospace, defense, tooling, and high-performance engineering applications where extreme strength and reliability are essential. C300 is commonly used in rocket motor casings, aircraft landing gear, tooling components, automotive dies, and high-performance mechanical parts that require outstanding impact resistance and durability under stress.

Key Benefits of OptiPowder C300
• Ultra-High Strength: One of the strongest maraging steels available, offering superior mechanical properties after aging treatment.
• Excellent Fracture and Impact Resistance: Ideal for aerospace, defense, and tooling applications requiring extreme toughness.
• Superior Machinability: Unlike traditional hardened steels, C300 remains machinable before aging, allowing for easier processing and fabrication.
• Optimized for Additive Manufacturing: Designed for LPBF systems, ensuring high-density, precision-built parts with outstanding structural integrity.
• Sustainability Focused: 100% reclaimed metal powder, reducing dependency on virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.
