Stainless Steel 17-4PH Forgings are a type of precipitation-hardening stainless steel, made up of about 17% chromium, 4% nickel, along with copper, niobium, and iron as the balance. These forgings boast impressive tensile strength (1,000–1,300 MPa), a minimum yield strength of 850 MPa, and an elongation of 10–15%. The alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and stability at high temperatures. Its outstanding fatigue and wear resistance make it perfect for critical applications where both mechanical performance and durability are crucial.
