Metallographic structure: The structure is characterized by precipitation hardening.
●17-4PH delivery status: generally delivered in the heat treatment state, the type of heat treatment is indicated in the contract; if it is not specified, it will be delivered in the non-heat treatment state.
Note: ①A single value is the highest value unless otherwise specified; ②When used in certain pipe making processes, the nickel content of some types of austenitic stainless steel must be slightly higher than the value shown in the table; ③ Random; ④The highest TA content is 0.10%; ⑤The highest content is 0.75%; ⑥The highest content is 0.70%
17-4PH alloy is precipitation, hardening, martensitic stainless steel.
17-4PH alloy is a precipitation, hardening, martensitic stainless steel composed of copper and niobium/columb.
This grade has high strength, hardness (up to 300°C/572°F) and corrosion resistance.
After heat treatment, the mechanical properties of the product are more perfect, and can reach a compressive strength of up to 1100-1300 mpa (160-190 ksi).
This grade cannot be used at temperatures higher than 300°C (572°F) or very low temperatures. It has good corrosion resistance to the atmosphere and diluted acids or salts. Its corrosion resistance is the same as 304 and 430.
17-4PH application field:
· Offshore platforms, helicopter decks, other platforms
· food industry
· Pulp and Paper Industry
· Aerospace (turbine blades)
· machinery parts
· Nuclear Waste Barrel
