Applications & Uses Of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Bars

Why To Use 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Bars?

As we all know, stainless steel is one of the most used metal all around the world.

To manufacture a small size of a pin to the big size of aircraft or ship stainless steel is one of the essential metal used in manufacturing these things.

The only reason to use stainless steel is that it provides all the major benefits to manufacture aircraft, ships or even small size of a pin.

From the recent report, we get some shocking numbers of stainless steel. In 2018 93.69 billion US dollar used to purchase stainless steel worldwide.

Yes, you read that right!!

Also, Stainless steel is recyclable material, so manufacturing industries reuse stainless steel in the manufacturing process.

If yes let’s start

In today’s topic, we are discussing one of the most useful grades of stainless steel – 17 – 4 ph

17-4 ph stainless steel bars:

17-4 ph is martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel, which is widely used ss grade for different industrial application because it has a valuable combination of excellent strength & hardness with unmatchable corrosion resistance ability among all ss grades with different heat treatment temperature make 17-4 ph an outstanding choice among the other different grades. 17-4 ph a unique combination of properties makes this alloy an effective solution to many design and production problems.

At Vishwa Stainless Pvt. Ltd. 17-4 ss bar are available in different shape.

●    17-4 ph stainless steel round bars
●    17-4 ph stainless steel hex bars &
●    17-4 ph stainless steel square bars

17-4 ph Stainless Steel properties:

Physical Properties:

●    Melting Range: 2560-2625°F (1404-1440°C)
●    Density: 0.2820 lb/in³

Mechanical Properties:

Type 17-4PH stainless steel has excellent mechanical properties. For applications requiring high strength and hardness as well as corrosion resistance, Type 17-4PH stainless is an outstanding choice, and it is more cost-effective than many high nickel non-ferrous alloys.

Resistance to Corrosion:

Type 17-4 PH stainless steel has excellent resistance. It withstands corrosive attacks better than any of the standard hardenable stainless steels and is comparable to Type 304 in most media. This has been tested in a wide variety of corrosive conditions in the petrochemical, petroleum, paper, dairy, and food processing industries, and applications such as boat shafting.

Application:

Aerospace industries:

17-4 ph provides excellent stress corrosion resistance ability and high tensile strength. these benefits are very important because airplane parts & components or other aerospace equipment has to work in a different environment or temperature so having good corrosion resistance ability and high strength is very important.

Paper & pulp industry:

Paper & pulp industry need a stainless steel grade with good corrosion resistance ability and durable to work in the toughest condition. So, stainless steel grade 17-4 ph is a good choice for the paper & pulp industry.

Paper & pulp industry has to work with water & chemicals so these industries need good corrosion resistance ability in stainless steel grade.

Food processing plant:

17-4 is the first choice for any food processing industry to manufacture equipment because 17-4 ph stainless steel grade has good corrosion resistance ability and excellent toughness so it’s a perfect choice for any food processing industry.

Features:

•  Excellent resistance to corrosion
•  Provide toughness in both base metals and welds.
•  Well suited to applications that require ease of fabrication and then the addition of strength/hardness for improved reliability
