Product Description
17-4PH Stainless Steel Overview
17-4 Precipitation Hardening (also known as Type 630 or Alloy 630) is a chromium-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel used for applications requiring high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. High strength is maintained to approximately 600°F (316°C).
General Properties
Alloy 17-4 PH is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel with copper and niobium/columbium additions. This grade combines high strength, hardness (up to 572°F / 300°C), and corrosion resistance.
Mechanical properties can be optimized with heat treatment, achieving very high yield strength up to 1100-1300 MPa (160-190 ksi).
This grade should not be used at temperatures above 572°F (300°C) or at very low temperatures. It provides adequate resistance to atmospheric corrosion and diluted acids or salts, with corrosion resistance equivalent to Alloy 304 or 430.

Corrosion Resistance
Alloy 17-4 PH withstands corrosive attacks better than standard hardenable stainless steels and is comparable to Alloy 304 in most media.
For potential stress corrosion cracking risks, higher aging temperatures above 1022°F (550°C), preferably 1094°F (590°C), should be selected. 1022°F (550°C) is the optimum tempering temperature in chloride media, while 1094°F (590°C) is optimal for H2S media.
The alloy may experience crevice or pitting attack if exposed to stagnant seawater for extended periods. It provides corrosion resistance in chemical, petroleum, paper, dairy, and food processing industries (equivalent to 304L grade).

Alternative Grades Comparison
Table 5: Possible alternative grades to 630 stainless steels
| Alternative Grade | Reasons for Choosing 17-4PH (630) |
|---|---|
| 431 | 431 has higher toughness than 17-4PH. Better availability in some sizes. |
| 416 | Free-machining martensitic stainless steel - better for repetition machining. Lower cost. |
| 316 | Higher corrosion resistance to resist more severe environments, but with much lower strength than 17-4PH. |
| 2205 | Much better corrosion resistance than 17-4PH, with lower strength (but not as low as 316). |
Heat Treatment
Solution treatment (Condition A) - Grade 630 stainless steels are heated at 1040°C for 0.5 h, then air-cooled to 30°C. Small sections can be oil quenched.
Hardening - Grade 630 stainless steels are age-hardened at low temperatures to achieve required mechanical properties. During the process, superficial discoloration occurs followed by shrinkage.
