630 Precision Ground Stainless Steel Round Bar 1.4301 ASTM A564

630 Stainless Steel Bar Mechanical Properties:

630 Stainless Steel Bar Fabrication Data:

1. Corrssion Resistance:

The corrosion resistance of Type 17-4PH / 630 is comparable to that of Type 304 Stainless Steel in most media and superior to that of the hardenable 400 series stainless steels. Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.

2. Heat Treatment:

Solution treatment (Condition A) — Grade 630 stainless steels are heated at 1040°C for 0.5 h, then air-cooled to 30°C. Small sections of these grades can be oil quenched.

Hardening — Grade 630 stainless steels are age-hardened at low temperatures to achieve the required mechanical properties. During the process, superficial discoloration occurs followed by shrinkage at 0.10% for condition H1150, and 0.05% for condition H900.

3. Welding:

Grade 630 stainless steels can be welded using all conventional methods, and they do not require pre-heating. Care should be taken in designing and welding of high strength steels to prevent weldment stresses.

4. Machining:

Grade 630 stainless steels can be machined in their solution-treated condition. They have machining rates similar to that of grade 304 steels.

630 Stainless Steel Bar Applications:

630 / 17-4PH / X5CrNiCuNb16-4 / 1.4542 is provided in the form of round bars, sheets, flat bars and cold-rolled strip. The material is widely used in the aerospace, marine, paper, energy, offshore and food industries for heavy-duty machine components, bushings, turbine blades, couplings, screws, drive shafts, nuts, measuring devices.
