UNS S17400 Stainless Steel Light Rod Processing Forging Ring Forgings With High Strength And High Corrosion Resistance

Introduction to UNS S17400:

17-4PH stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and heat treatment plasticity, especially in chloride environment, it has excellent chloride stress corrosion cracking resistance.

Its composition includes elements such as iron, chromium, nickel, copper and molybdenum, while containing a small amount of carbon and niobium and other elements, with good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance,Especially in high temperature and strong corrosive environment, it shows good stability

Main characteristics of UNS S17400:

• High strength: 17-4PH has excellent strength and hardness, and can reach very high strength levels through heat treatment. For example, under condition H1150 (solution treatment plus low temperature aging), its tensile strength can reach about 1100 MPa.
• Good corrosion resistance: Compared with other stainless steels, 17-4PH has better corrosion resistance, especially in some climates and chemical environments.
• Excellent heat treatment performance: Its properties can be adjusted through heat treatment (such as solution treatment and aging treatment) to achieve higher strength or better corrosion resistance in different applications.
• Good grinding performance: After heat treatment, 17-4PH can usually obtain good surface grinding performance, suitable for applications requiring high precision and surface quality.
• Weldability: Although special attention should be paid to heat treatment and welding process, 17-4PH has good weldability under proper method.

Overall, UNS S17400 is widely used in demanding engineering applications in aerospace, petrochemical, medical devices and other fields due to its balance of strength, hardness and corrosion resistance, as well as good heat treatment properties.
