Principal Design
Features

One of the most widely used precipitation hardening grades in

the business. While soft and ductile in the solution annealed
condition, it is capable of high properties with a single
precipitation or aging treatment. Characterized by good
corrosion resistance, high harness, toughness and strength.

Applications

Commonly used in both aircraft and gas turbines, nuclear

reactor, paper mill, oil field, and chemical process
components.

Machinability

Long, gummy chips characterize this alloys machinability. It

can be machined in the annealed condition, however
condition H1150M will yield best results. Post machining
solution treatment of parts will be required prior to final
hardening if machining in this condition.

Forming

This alloy is capable of being only mildly formed. If forming is

required, do so in the overaged condition for best results.

Welding

Successfully welded by common fusion and resistance

methods, this alloy should not be joined by oxyacetylene
welding. AWS E/ER630 filler metal is recommended if
required.

Heat Treatment

CONDITION A--Soak at 1900 F (1038 C) for 30 minutes and cool

below 60 F (16 C) for complete martensite transformation.
CONDITION H 950- Treat Condition A material at 900 F(482 C)
for 1 hour, air cool.. CONDITION H925, H1025, H1075, H1100,
H1150- Soak solution treated material for 4 hours at specified
temperature, air cool, CONDITION H1150M- Soak solution
treated material at 1400 F (760 C) for 2 hours, air cool, then
re-heat to 1150 F (620 C) for 4 hours and air cool.

Forging

Soak for 1 hour at 2150 F (1177 C) prior to forging. Do not work

below 1850 F (1010 C). Post-work solution treatment is
required prior to final hardening.

Hot Working

17-4 PH can be easily hot worked using most of the common

processes. It is suggested that material be solution treated at
1900 F(1038 C) then formed during cooling while the material
is still austenitic. Post-work solution treatment is required
prior to final hardening.

Cold Working

Despite its high initial yield strength, 17-4 can be cold worked
successfully by most common methods.

Annealing

1900 F (1038 C), hold for 1/2 hour, rapid cool.

Hardening

This alloy has good ductility and may be readily formed by all
conventional methods. Because the alloy is stronger than
regular steel it requires more powerful equipment to
accomplish forming. Heavy-duty lubricants should be used
during cold forming.
