Stainless Steel 17-4PH forgings are martensitic precipitation-hardening steels with 16-17.5% chromium, 3-5% nickel, 3-5% copper, 0.15-0.45% niobium, and the rest iron with trace elements. These forgings possess excellent mechanical properties, such as tensile strength up to 1310 MPa, yield strength of 1170 MPa, and 10-15% elongation, which mainly depends on the heat treatment condition (H900 to H1150). They possess high hardness (up to 40 HRC) and toughness and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard martensitic grades. It is used extensively in aerospace, chemical, and marine applications due to excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability.

The ideal temperature range for forging Stainless Steel 17-4PH is 1850°F to 2050°F (1010°C to 1120°C). Post-forging, annealing or solution treating is necessary to achieve optimal properties.
Yes, Stainless Steel 17-4PH forgings can be forged into custom shapes. This alloy offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making it suitable for precision custom forging applications.
The forging process for Stainless Steel 17-4PH typically takes several hours, including heating, shaping, and cooling. The exact duration depends on part size, complexity, and specific forging techniques used.
Stainless Steel 17-4PH Forgings are used in and across industries where the requirements call for high strength, corrosion, and shock resistance against extreme environments. It is widely used in aerospace structures such as turbine blades, shafts and landing gears; in the chemical/petrochemical industries for valves, pumps and pressure vessels, and in the marine environment for marine structures exposed to the sea water. It is useful when it provides a performance joined with toughness for protection against corrosion in extremely abrasive and rigorous service. Versatility also extends to applications of the product in tooling and instrumentation that are subjected to harsh working conditions but provide greater confidence for a given structural strength.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
