17-4PH Sheet (AMS 5604)

Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel

We stock 17-4PH stainless sheet to AMS 5604.

17-4PH stainless steel is a precipitation hardening steel, which is available in sheet form to specification AMS 5604.

17-4PH is known for its good corrosion resistance, excellent strength and high hardness. The wear-resistant characteristics of the alloy are outstanding. In sheet form, uses include aircraft skins and various aircraft parts.

About 17-4PH Sheets

17-4PH is the most popular precipitation hardening stainless steel. Our sheets represent a highly versatile alloy due to the variety of heat treatments available, which affect the resulting mechanical properties. High hardness and strength are achievable after a simple heat treating process. Machinability and fabricability are also good, particularly in lower tempers. Further strengthing is possible with subsequent heat treatment. Improved formability is possible if heat-treating is applied before cold working. 17-4PH also possesses good welding capabilities.

Commercial Applications

17-4PH finds extensive use in the MRO and aerospace sector in aircraft skins, valve components, turbine blades and engine components. The ability to manipulate the material's mechanical properties with different heat treatments makes the product highly versatile and affords numerous commercial engineering and fabrication opportunities.
