MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a leading supplier, exporter, importer, and stockist of a wide range of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel (UNS S17400) products including Pipes & Tubes, Pipe Fittings, Flanges, Fasteners, Sheets & Plates, Coils, Wires, Bars, Welding Rods, Mesh, and Custom Fabricated Components.
17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel that combines high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and ease of heat treatment into one versatile alloy. Its nominal composition includes chromium, nickel, and copper, which allow it to achieve very high tensile and yield strengths through a simple heat treatment process.
The alloy is magnetic in all conditions, weldable using conventional techniques, and can be machined efficiently in its solution-annealed or aged states. Due to its ability to develop high mechanical properties without extensive processing, 17-4 PH is widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, marine, power generation, and general engineering industries.
It performs well in mildly corrosive environments, similar to 304 stainless steel, and offers exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking in many applications. Its balance of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance makes it one of the most commonly used precipitation-hardening stainless steels worldwide.
