• Aging precipitation enhances martensite matrix strength via Ni(Fe,Al) precipitates, reducing transgranular cracking.
• Volta potential difference between matrix and NbC particles increases from 11.43 to 18.60 mV, accelerating anodic dissolution at HAGBs.
• SCC susceptibility increases with aging due to combined mechanical and electrochemical effects, promoting intergranular fracture.
• Findings guide optimization of aging treatments to balance strength and SCC resistance in maraging steels.
