17-4 PH grade stainless steel is a high strength, high hardness, excellent corrosion resistant and easy heat treatable material. It is widely used in the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper and general metalworking industries.
Well suited for machining, Due to the molybdenum content, it has a good resistance in chloride-containing media and non-oxidizing acids.
Some of the end use applications are pump shafts, valve stems, balls, gates, bushings and trim: mixing screws, fasteners, couplings, rocket hold-downs, wear rings, rollers, hydraulic actuators, load cells and screws.
