Forging 17-7 Precipitation Hardening Stainless Round Steel

Precipitation hardening stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that improves strength and hardness by precipitating alloying elements in the matrix through heat treatment. It can be divided into three types: martensitic, semi austenitic, and austenitic.

Precision manufacturing: medical devices, watch components, electronic equipment casings.

Industrial field: high-pressure valves, springs, and components in low-corrosion environments of chemical equipment.


Feature


17-7PH stainless steel is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel, with its core advantage being its combination of high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it

widely used in precision applications.

Composition characteristics: It contains 17% chromium and 7% nickel, and achieves precipitation hardening through elements such as copper and niobium.

Performance advantages: After heat treatment, the strength can reach 1379-1655MPa, far exceeding that of ordinary stainless steel; its corrosion resistance is close to that of 304 stainless steel, capable of withstanding atmospheric conditions, fresh water, and weak corrosive media.

Processing characteristics: Excellent cold workability, suitable for stamping and bending. Good dimensional stability after heat treatment, making it ideal for precision part processing.

Mechanical Property and Heat Treatment

Tensile strength: approximately 860-1030 MPa for TH1050 condition, approximately 1380-1550 MPa for CH900 condition, and approximately 1170-1310 MPa for RH950 condition.

Yield strength (0.2% yield): approximately 690-860 MPa for TH1050 condition, approximately 1240-1400 MPa for CH900 condition, and approximately 1030-1170 MPa for RH950 condition.

Elongation (fracture): ≥15% for TH1050 state, ≥6% for CH900 state, and ≥10% for RH950 state.

Hardness (HRC): TH1050 condition is approximately 26-32 HRC, CH900 condition is approximately 42-48 HRC, and RH950 condition is approximately 38-44 HRC


Heat Treatment Process

The core of heat treatment for 17-7 PH stainless steel is "solution treatment + precipitation hardening". Different heat treatment states (TH1050, CH900, RH950) correspond to different processes, ultimately determining its mechanical properties.

Core heat treatment process (general basic steps)

Solution treatment: First, heat the steel to 1000-1050℃ and maintain the temperature for 30-60 minutes.

Rapid cooling: Rapidly reduce the temperature through water quenching or air cooling to obtain a supersaturated austenite structure, preparing for subsequent hardening.

Precipitation hardening (key step): Holding at a specific temperature to promote the precipitation of fine precipitates from alloy elements (such as copper and niobium), thereby enhancing strength.

Specific heat treatment processes for different states

TH1050 condition (solution + stabilization): After solution treatment, cool to room temperature, then heat to 1050℃ and maintain for 30 minutes, followed by air cooling.

CH900 status (high-strength type): After solid solution cooling, heat to 900℃ and maintain for 1 hour, then air cool. Finally, maintain at 480℃ for 4 hours and then air cool.

RH950 status (balanced type): After solid solution cooling, heat to 950℃ and maintain for 1 hour, then air cool. After that, maintain at 510℃ for 4 hours and then air cool.
