1. Standards 2. Properties and use


AISI 17-4 PH Stainless steel with direct martensitic transformation and structural
(precipitate hardening) hardening providing an outstanding combination of high strength and
DIN 1.4542 good corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties up to
Afnor X 5 Cr Ni Cu Nb 17 04 300°C. This alloy is based on water atomized powder with a maximum size
of 20 microns. This special stainless steel can be used in all
3. Composition applications with high demand on mechanical properties and tough
(1)
Combustion analysis (2)
Microprobe analysis environment (aviation, weapons, climbing and outdoor equipment, medical
devices etc...). It can be used for cosmetic applications such as pens,
% C(1) ≤ 0.07 spectacle hinges and can be polished and PVD coated.
% Cr(2) 15.0-17.5 It cannot be used for parts having long and direct contact with skin.
% Ni(2) 3-5
% Cu(2) 3-5
% Nb(2) 0.15-0.45 4. Physical and chemical properties
% Mn(2) ≤1.0 Some intermittent spots after a 96 hour salt spray test (1)
% Si(2) ≤1 Theoretical density : 7,78 Minimum density : 7,65
% Fe Compl. (1)
according to NF 41-002

5. Microstructure and mechanical properties as sintered


Microstructures display closed porosities with a maximum diameter of 10mm and a nearly dense layer
on the outer surface.
After sintering (quench like conditions) the structure is dual phased with martensite (light grey)
and ferrite at the grain boundaries.

Traction on 17-4 PH as sintered :

Rm : 950 MPa
Rp0,2 : 720 MPa
A% : 6 %
Hardness : 320 Hv10 (32 HRC)
Roughness : Ra < 2 mm

6. Microstructure and mechanical properties with H900 structural hardening


The «as sintered» soft martensite (low carbon and no needles) is an oversaturated solid solution in which
the hardening phase can precipitate. This phase appears during annealing and creates ultra-fine copper-based
precipitates (not visible on optical micrographs) which strengthen the material by anchoring dislocations.
Ferrite is not affected. Depending on time and annealing temperature, a range of properties can be achieved.

Traction on 17-4 PH PH H900 :

Rm ≥ 1100 MPa
Rp0,2 ≥ 950 MPa
A% ≥ 5 %
Hardness : 400 Hv10 (40HRC)
