Can you heat treat 17-7?

Alloy 17-7 PH® provides high strength and hardness, excellent fatigue properties, good corrosion resistance and minimum distortion upon heat treatment. It is easily formed in the annealed condition, then hardened to high strength levels by simple heat treatments to Conditions RH 950 and TH 1050.

How do you heat treat 17-7 stainless steel?

Heat Treatment For heat treating stainless steel grade 17-7 PH, three important steps need to be carried out – austenite conditioning, cooling to transform the austenite to martensite, and precipitation hardening to condition TH 1050 or RH 950.

What is 17 7PH steel?

A stable, chromium-nickel-aluminum steel, 17-7 is a precipitation hardening steel with a high strength and moderately resistant to corrosion. In terms of corrosion resistance, 17-7 PH is comparable to 304 stainless steel and a better choice when compared to the 400 series of stainless steel.

What kind of stainless steel is 17-7 pH?
