Stainless Steel 17-4PH / 1.4542 / X5CrNiCuNb16-4
Alternative Designations: Stainless Steel 17-4PH / 1.4542 / X5CrNiCuNb16-4

Description
Stainless Steel 17-4PH is an iron-based alloy known for its corrosion resistance and strength. It can be machined, shot-peened, and polished in both as-built and heat-treated states. Achieving optimal hardness and mechanical properties requires solution annealing and aging treatment, following ASTM A564-13 standards. Typical applications include acid and corrosion-resistant engineering parts and medical instruments such as surgical tools and orthopedic instrumentation.
