18Ni300 is widely used in precision moulds, national defence, and other engineering fields due to its high strength and toughness, and because its properties can be greatly changed after heat treatment.

The hardness and wear resistance of the material after solution and artificial aging heat treatment has been significantly improved, and the impact on the rolled production material of the melted cladding layer manufactured by laser cladding is even greater.
