17-4Ph is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless-steel. A wide range of mechanical properties is available via simple aging within a 900-1150°F (482-621°C) temperature range. Vacuum arc re-melting provides low gas content, superior cleanliness and optimum transverse properties.
Typical applications include aircraft and missile structural components, gears, valves, fasteners, jet engine and nuclear reactor parts.
