Frequently Asked Questions

What is 17-4 PH stainless steel?

17-4 PH (UNS S17400) is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel containing copper and niobium. It offers high strength (up to 190 ksi tensile) and good corrosion resistance.

What heat treatment conditions are available?

H900 (480°C) for maximum strength, H1025 (550°C) for a balance of strength and toughness, and H1150 (620°C) for maximum ductility. Each condition affects tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness.

Which standards cover 17-4 PH fasteners?

ASTM A564, AMS 5604, AMS 5342/5343/5344, and ASTM F899 for medical applications.

Does RAYCHIN provide material certificates?

Yes, EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 and full mechanical test reports are provided with every shipment.
