17-4 PH Stainless Steel Casting
JC Casting is a 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Casting manufacturer in China. These years, we manufactured many castings parts with 17-4 stainless steel. Such as Medical surgical forceps, sponge clamp, hemostatic forceps. Footpeg in motorcycle industry. And big impellers in Shipbuilding or fluid industry.
All of these applications are from 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Casting features:
What is 17 4 PH stainless steel?
Its name is from its chemical composition which is about 17% chromium and 4% nickel. Alloy 17-4PH stainless steel (UNS S17400, Type 630 ), is a chromium-nickel-copper precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel with an addition of niobium. It is the most used stainless steel alloy of all precipitation hardening stainless steel casting.
17-4 stainless steel casting typical application is for high strength and corrosion resistance required. The desired strength and toughness can be controlled in the heat treatment process.
17-4 PH Stainless Steel Composition for Casting
| C | Si | Mn | P | S | Ni | Cr | Cu | Nb |
| ≤0.07 | ≤1.00 | ≤1.00 | ≤0.040 | ≤0.030 | 3.00-5.00 | 15.0-17.5 | 3.00-5.00 | 0.15-0.45 |
17 4 PH Stainless Steel Casting Process in JC Casting
- Sand Casting
- Investment Casting (Lost Wax Casting, Precision Casting)
17 4 PH Stainless Steel Casting Heat Treatment
All 17-4 PH stainless steel castings need solution treatment. Heating the castings and material to 1050°C, holding the 30 min/in. [1.2 min/mm]. Then cooling to below 30°C.
