Product Description

Product Description

Introduction

17-7 PH(631) Steel is a precipitation-hardened stainless steel that is well suited for aerospace and other applications requiring high strength and good corrosion resistance and formability. Type 17-7 PH(631) Steel is a Chromium-Nickel-Aluminum, austenitic stainless steel.  It is the most formable of all PH grades and has the highest strength and hardness. It is less magnetic than other PH grades and offers minimal distortion upon heat treatment. This material maintains its valuable properties at temperatures up to 800°F (427° C).

The two main properties of precipitation-hardened stainless steels are high corrosion resistance and high strength. Stainless steel grade 17-7 PH(631) Steel is a precipitation hardened stainless steel that possesses high strength and hardness, excellent fatigue properties, good formability, good corrosion resistance, and minimal distortion upon heat treatment. The properties of this alloy are well suited for aerospace applications.

Stainless steel grade 17-7 PH(631) Steel is suitable for use in fresh water and industrial atmospheres, and mild chemical and oxidizing environments. It is recommended that 17-7 PH(631) Steel should not be used in salt water or reducing environments.

Processing method

Machinability
Machinability of stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel is rated at 75 % of B1112. On machining, this alloy displays long gummy chips and requires chip breakers. It is recommended that slow speeds and constant feeds while machining will provide excellent results.

Heat Treatment
For heat treating stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel, three important steps need to be carried out - austenite conditioning, cooling to transform the austenite to martensite, and precipitation hardening to condition TH 1050 or RH 950.

Forming
Forming characteristics of stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel are similar to stainless steel grade 301. For radical forming operations, intermediate annealing may be required.

Welding
Common arc and resistance methods can be used with stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel. It is recommended that during fusion welding inert gas shielding should be performed to reduce the oxidation of aluminum during the process.

Annealing
Annealing of stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel is performed at 1066°C (1950°F) for 3 min for every 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) of thickness, and then air cooled.

Aging
Stainless steel grade 17-7 PH Steel is solution annealed at 1177°C (2150°F) for 4 h and air cooled. Same step is performed at 1079°C (1975°F) for 4h and air cooled, then at 843°C (1550°F) for 24h and air cooled, and at 760°C (1400°F) for 16h and air cooled. This completed the precipitation hardening process. For excellent results and performance, the material should be clean and free from scale and impurities.


Applications

17-7PH stainless steel's specific uses in the medical field mainly include the manufacture of surgical instruments, dental instruments, and artificial joints.

In terms of medical devices, 17-7PH stainless steel is widely used in the manufacture of various precision surgical instruments due to its excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. These instruments will not cause adverse reactions when in contact with the human body, while being able to maintain long-term performance, ensuring the smooth progress of the operation and the safety of the patient. 12.

In addition, 17-7PH stainless steel is also suitable for the manufacture of dental instruments, such as orthodontic springs. Its high strength and good deformability enable these instruments to meet the needs of complex dental treatments while maintaining stable performance. 3.

In the manufacture of artificial joints, 17-7PH stainless steel also plays an important role. Its high strength and good corrosion resistance can ensure the stability and durability of artificial joints, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.
