17-4 Stainless Steel Sheet
Properties
.Precipitation-Hardening Stainless Steel
Type 17-4PH (S17400)
General Properties
Type 17-4PH stainless steel is the most widely used of all the precipitation-hardening stainless steels. Its valuable combination of properties gives designers opportunities to add reliability to their products while simplifying fabrication and often reducing costs. This valuable alloy is widely used in the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper and general metalworking industries.
Type 17-4PH is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that provides an outstanding combination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C), good toughness in both base metal and welds, and short-time, low temperature heat treatments that minimize warpage and scaling.
Type 17-4PH is available in sheet, strip, plate, bar, wire and castings, complete welded assemblies involving components of these various forms are possible. Its unique combination of properties make this alloy an effective solution to many design and production problems.
