Over 20 Years of One-stop Solutions on Stainless Steel Investment Casting
17-4 PH stainless steel is a martensitic steel grade that can undergo precipitation hardening treatment. It is a high-performance alloy steel.
Its corrosion resistance is similar to that of 304 stainless steel. However, it is harder and has stronger mechanical properties. 17-4 PH stainless steel is mainly used in occasions where high strength and corrosion resistance are required
Pingheng Machinery adopts investment casting technology and can customize 17-4 PH stainless steel casting. This type of material can be used to cast precision castings such as aircraft landing gear parts in the aerospace field, valve casting in the oil and gas industry, pump shafts, and turbine blades. 17-4PH stainless steel casting is an ideal choice with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
The Material Properties of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Casting
17-4 PH stainless steel casting includes approximately 17% chromium and 4% nickel elements. This high-strength and high-hardness alloy steel has excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance features.
17-4 PH stainless steel casting is magnetic. And it can be subjected to aging hardening heat treatment to achieve the specified mechanical properties without the risk of cracking or deformation.
The Applications of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Casting
Due to its superior performance, 17-4PH stainless steel casting is widely used in fields such as the petroleum industry, aerospace industry, defense industry, marine industry, and medical industry.
– Aerospace industry: 17-4 PH stainless steel casting is often used in aircraft, including cabin door hinges, driver housings, landing gear, and other high-load connecting components.
-Petroleum industry: Due to the high hardness of 17-4PH stainless steel, it is mainly used in some applications in the petroleum industry that require the highest-strength load-bearing components, such as pump shafts and oil drilling.
