Product Description
17-4PH Stainless Steel Overview
17-4 Precipitation Hardening (Type 630/AISI 630) is a chromium-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel designed for applications requiring high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. This alloy maintains high strength up to approximately 600°F (316°C).
General Properties
Alloy 17-4 PH is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel with copper and niobium additions. This grade combines high strength, hardness (up to 572°F/300°C), and corrosion resistance. Mechanical properties can be optimized through heat treatment, achieving very high yield strength up to 1100-1300 MPa (160-190 ksi).
This grade should not be used at temperatures above 572°F (300°C) or at very low temperatures. It provides adequate resistance to atmospheric corrosion and diluted acids or salts, with corrosion resistance equivalent to Alloy 304 or 430.

Corrosion Resistance
Alloy 17-4 PH withstands corrosive attacks better than standard hardenable stainless steels and is comparable to Alloy 304 in most media. For stress corrosion cracking risks, higher aging temperatures above 1022°F (550°C), preferably 1094°F (590°C), should be selected.
1022°F (550°C) is the optimum tempering temperature in chloride media, while 1094°F (590°C) is optimal for H2S media. The alloy may experience crevice or pitting attack in stagnant seawater but provides corrosion resistance in chemical, petroleum, paper, dairy, and food processing industries (equivalent to 304L grade).

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 can be oil quenched.
Hardening: Grade 630 stainless steels are age-hardened at low temperatures to achieve required mechanical properties. During processing, superficial discoloration occurs with shrinkage of 0.10% for condition H1150 and 0.05% for condition H900.
Applications
- Engine components
- High strength boat propeller shafts
- Plastic moulding dies
- Valves and gears
