1. What is Stainless Steel 17-4 PH?

Stainless Steel 17-4 PH (precipitation hardening) is a martensitic, chromium-nickel-copper alloy designed for applications requiring a combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and toughness. It derives its name from its chemical composition, which includes 15–17.5% chromium and 3–5% nickel, along with copper and other elements. This versatile alloy is widely used in industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, and oil refining due to its ability to achieve various hardness and strength levels through heat treatment, known as aging or precipitation hardening.

Commonly referred to as SAE Type 630, or UNS 17400, this material is known for its ability to maintain mechanical properties in challenging environments, making it a preferred choice in high-performance applications.

2. Chemical Composition of 17-4 PH Plates

The composition of 17-4 PH stainless steel includes elements that contribute to its superior properties:

This composition results in the alloy’s unique combination of mechanical strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

3. Specifications of Stainless Steel 17-4 PH Plates

Stainless Steel 17-4 PH is produced and supplied according to various international standards. Some common specifications include:

• ASME Standards: SA564, SA693, SA705, Type 630
• AMS Standards: 5604, 5622, 5643, 5825
• ASTM Standards: A564, A693, A705, Type 630
• UNS: S17400
• Nr./EN: 1.4548

These specifications ensure the material meets stringent quality requirements for various industrial applications.

4. Applications of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel

17-4 PH stainless steel is known for its excellent performance in environments that require both high hardness and corrosion resistance. Some key applications include:

• Aerospace: Used in components like turbine blades, fasteners, and structural parts due to its high strength and toughness.
• Chemical Processing: Ideal for equipment that requires resistance to corrosive environments, such as tanks and processing equipment.
• Oil and Gas Industry: 17-4 PH is commonly used in pipelines, refineries, and storage tanks where resistance to chemicals and high pressure is essential.
• Nuclear Components: Its ability to maintain properties in high-temperature and high-pressure environments makes it a valuable material in nuclear plants.
• Food Processing Equipment: Due to its corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication, 17-4 PH is often used in food-grade stainless steel equipment.

The alloy can withstand temperatures up to 600°F (316°C), making it suitable for demanding applications in a wide range of industries.
