The corrosion resistance of Type 17-4PH® is comparable to that of Type 304 stainless Steel in most media and superior to that of the hardenable 400 series stainless steels. Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.
Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative application
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
Alloy 17-4® PH can be heat treated to increase mechanical properties. Contact Ulbrich Technical Service for information.
