17-4PH Stainless Steel (AN)

17 4ph annealed stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation-hardening alloy that offers high strength and good corrosion resistance in the annealed condition. This state allows machining or forming before final hardening, making it ideal for versatile industrial and engineering applications.

Key Features:

The annealed 17 4PH material provides excellent machinability and fabrication flexibility while retaining the option for subsequent precipitation hardening. It delivers moderate corrosion resistance comparable to standard austenitic grades and ensures reliable mechanical performance for demanding projects.

Typical Applications:
  • Components requiring machining and forming before hardening (e.g., shafts, bushings, die‑holders)
  • Aerospace fasteners and structural parts that will be final‑aged later
  • Marine, oil & gas, chemical industry parts needing stainless performance with adaptability
  • General engineering parts where a combination of strength, corrosion resistance and post‑machining capability is needed
Forms of Supply

Supplied in the annealed (AN) condition (soft, fully solution treated) as round bars, plates, sheets, blocks, and forgings. Cut to  size, machined blanks, and extrusions are available across the GCC. Silver Metal Trading LLC is a trusted 17 4ph supplier and a reliable partner among metal trading companies in the region.

The annealed 17 4PH stainless steel exhibits excellent machinability, formability, and predictable mechanical behavior under fabrication. Its corrosion resistance and dimensional stability make it ideal for pre machined components that will undergo later precipitation hardening.

 

This alloy maintains mechanical integrity and moderate corrosion resistance comparable to standard austenitic stainless steels. It is suitable for aerospace, marine, oil and gas, and chemical industry applications where post-machining processing is required.

Key Features of 17‑4PH Annealed Stainless Steel
  • Excellent machinability and fabrication flexibility in the annealed condition
  • Excellent polishability for mirror finish plastic moulds
  • Can be precipitation-hardened after machining for enhanced strength
  • Suitable for aerospace fasteners, shafts, bushings, and chemical industry components
  • Available in multiple forms with cut to size options and full certification for the Gulf region
