The Dutch government report found that in 1976, two Dutch firms exported to Pakistan 6,200 unfinished rotor tubes made of superstrong maraging steel. |
The faces on the Glider X irons are just one-tenth of an inch thick, and those on the Backfire are made from maraging steel. |
Marforming consists of deforming the maraging steel in the soft martensitic condition, generally cold. |
In that respect the substructure of maraging steel differs appreciably from that of aluminum, copper and other alloys which can be quenched without polymorphic change. |
Maraging steel is essential for P-2 type centrifuges, developed by the now-disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan based on European technologies. |
