An American aerospace grade stainless steel that contains 4% copper and may be hardened by a single low-temperature precipitation hardening heat treatment, producing excellent mechanical properties at a high strength level,



Details

This grade of stainless steel has a typical density of 7.75kg/dmĀ³ and can be magnetised. 17 4PH finds specific use in applications where a combination of unusually high strength and moderate corrosion resistance is a determining factor. The alloy has similar corrosion resistance characteristics when compared to 304 stainless steel.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • Motor shafts
  • Valve stems
  • Gears
  • Intricate machined parts

We stock 17 4PH in flats, round bar and hollow bar.
