Stainless Steel Round Bar 17-4

Stainless Steel Round Bar 17-4 is a round shaped bar of 17-4 Stainless Steel.

Grade 17-4 PH is a chromium-nickel grade of stainless that may be hardened by a single low temperature precipitation-hardening heat treatment.

It has excellent mechanical properties and a high strength level may be obtained by using the hardening treatment.

Scaling and distortion is minimized.

Grade 17-4 PH should not be used in the solution treated condition.

The strength and corrosion resistance properties of 17-4 hold up well and it has service temperatures up to 800° F.

The fabrication techniques for this steel is similar to those established for the regular stainless grades.

17-4 machines well, has excellent welding characteristics and forges easily.
