Stainless Steel 17-4 PH is one of the most common grades of martensitic, precipitation hardenable (PH) alloys. 17-4 gives a remarkable combination of high strength, very good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C), and short-duration, low-temperature heat treatments which minimize war page and scaling. Its good corrosion resistance, formability as well as weldability make it perfect for a different variety of applications in aerospace, petrochemical, and other structural applications. In the annealed condition Stainless Steel 17-4 PH keeps up high mechanical properties, making some forming operations difficult.
