Provided is a maraging steel excellent in fatigue characteristics, including, in terms of % by mass: C: ≤0.015%, Ni: from 12.0 to 20.0%, Mo: from 3.0 to 6.0%, Co: from 5.0 to 13.0%, Al: from 0.01 to 0.3%, Ti: from 0.2 to 2.0%, O: ≤0.0020%, N: ≤0.0020%, and Zr: from 0.001 to 0.02%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A maraging steel, consisting of, in terms of % by mass: C: ≤0.015%, Ni: 12.0 to 20.0%, Mo: 3.0 to 6.0%, Co: 5.0 to 13.0%, Al: 0.01 to 0.3%, Ti: 0.2 to 2.0%, O: ≤0.0020%, N: 0.0005 to 0.0020%, Zr: from 0.001 to 0.02%, and optionally one or more of: B: from 0.0010 to 0.010%, Mg: ≤0.003%, and Ca: ≤0.003% with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the maraging steel comprises at least one TiN or TiCN inclusion with ZrO 2 present in a center part thereof. 2. The maraging steel according to claim 1 , the content of Zr being 0.001 to 0.008% by mass. 3. A thin steel sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm or less and consisting of the maraging steel according to claim 1 . 4. A maraging steel consisting of, in terms of % by mass: C: ≤0.015%, Ni: 12.0 to 20.0%, Mo: 3.0 to 6.0%, Co: 5.0 to 13.0%, Al: 0.01 to 0.3%, Ti: 0.2 to 2.0%, O: ≤0.0020%, N: 0.0005 to 0.0020%, Zr: from 0.001 to 0.02%, and optionally one or more of: B: from 0.0010 to 0.010%, Mg: ≤0.003%, and Ca: ≤0.003% with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the maraging steel comprises at least one TiN or TiCN inclusion with ZrO 2 present in a center part thereof and the maraging steel has a fatigue characteristic, when tested according to the method of JIS Z 2273 (2010), of 10 7 repetitions or more. 5. The maraging steel according to claim 4 , the content of Zr being 0.001 to 0.008% by mass. 6. A thin steel sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm or less and consisting of the maraging steel according to claim 4 .
