17-4PH Stainless Steel Flat Bar

High-performance 17-4PH stainless steel flat bars, renowned for their remarkable mechanical strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion, are supplied by Stellanox Steel. 17-4PH flat bars, a precipitation-hardened martensitic stainless steel, are utilised in high-pressure, chemical, aerospace, and marine settings where durability, strength, and dimensional stability are essential.

These flat bars can be heat-treated to achieve strength levels of up to 1300 MPa, are magnetic, and are easily machinable under solution-annealed conditions.

What is 17-4PH Stainless Steel Flat Bar?

The rectangular solid bar known as the 17-4PH Stainless Steel Flat Bar is composed of a chromium-nickel-copper stainless steel alloy that has been precipitation-hardened with niobium (columbium). Age-hardening to different tempers (H900 to H1150) allows for mechanical performance flexibility. This grade is perfect for heavy-duty structural applications and precise components because it combines strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
Can 17-4PH be hardened?
Yes. Through aging at specific temperatures (H900 to H1150), the bar can achieve various hardness and strength profiles.
Is 17-4PH stainless steel magnetic?
Yes, it is magnetic in all conditions—annealed or aged.
Is 17-4PH weldable?
Yes, it can be welded in the annealed condition, and post-weld aging is recommended to restore properties.
How does it compare to 304 or 316?
17-4PH offers significantly higher strength and hardness, while 304/316 have better corrosion resistance in highly acidic or chloride-rich environments.
