- Descripción
17-7Hoja de acero inoxidable PH is a precipitation-hardening (PH) stainless steel known for its alta resistencia, buena resistencia a la corrosión, and excellent fatigue performance. Es ampliamente utilizado en el sector aeroespacial., ballestas, componentes de precisión, and high-stress engineering applications.
Composición química del acero inoxidable 17-7PH
17-7PH is an austenitic–martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel.
Rango de composición típica
| Elemento | Contenido (%) | Función |
|---|---|---|
| Cromo (cr) | 16–18% | Resistencia a la corrosión |
| Níquel (En) | 6–8% | Stabilizes structure |
| Aluminio (Alabama) | 0.75–1.5% | Endurecimiento por precipitación |
| Carbón (do) | ≤0.09% | Controls hardness |
| Manganeso (Minnesota) | ≤1.0% | Improves toughness |
| Silicio (Y) | ≤1.0% | Strength and oxidation resistance |
Key Performance Characteristics of 17-7PH
1. High Strength After Heat Treatment
17-7PH achieves very high strength through precipitation hardening.
- Solution treated state: moderate strength
- Condition CH900: very high tensile strength
2. Buena resistencia a la corrosión
- Comparable a 304 acero inoxidable en muchos entornos
- Suitable for mild atmospheric and industrial conditions
3. Excelente resistencia a la fatiga
- Ideal for cyclic loading applications
- Used in springs and flexible components
4. Buena formabilidad en estado recocido
- Can be formed before final heat treatment
- Hardened afterward for final performance
Heat Treatment Behavior
17-7PH stainless steel gains properties through controlled heat treatment:
- Tratamiento de solución
- Conditioning (A or C condition)
- Endurecimiento por precipitación (envejecimiento)
This process allows adjustment of:
- Fortaleza
- Dureza
- Elastic performance
17-7PH vs 15-7PH Stainless Steel
17-7PH and 15-7PH are both precipitation-hardening stainless steels, but they differ in composition and performance balance.
