1.4542 UNS S17400 630 H900 Precipitation Hardening Martensitic Stainless Steel Rods - 485 MPa Tensile Strength, 170 MPa Yield

Stainless steel rods are available in round, square, and hexagonal configurations, featuring high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, durability, machinability, ductility, dimensional accuracy, and long service life. These rods withstand high temperature and pressure conditions while maintaining optimal performance, and can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

Excellent performance in atmospheric environments and corrosive media, with superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments compared to standard grades. Resistant to potable water with up to 1000 mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures.

Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 870°C and continuous service to 925°C. Not recommended for continuous use in 425-860°C range if subsequent aqueous corrosion resistance is critical.

Solution treatment (annealing) requires heating to 1010-1120°C followed by rapid cooling. Cannot be hardened by thermal treatment.

Excellent weldability using all standard fusion and resistance methods. Heavy welded sections may require post-weld annealing for maximum corrosion resistance.

Tends to work harden if machined too quickly. Recommended: low speeds and constant feed rates. Lower carbon content enhances machinability.

Hot working optimal at 1150-1260°C (minimum 930°C). Cold working operations include shearing, drawing, and stamping. Post-work annealing recommended to remove internal stresses.
