17-4ph Stainless Steel Rod is a precipitation-hardening martensitic-grade stainless steel that is known for its high strength and low carbon content. 17-4ph Stainless Steel Rod is nonmagnetic stainless steel suitable for electrical components that need shielding from magnetic fields. Due to the high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good machinability of 17-4ph stainless steel rod, it is recommended for aerospace, medical, chemical processing, oil and gas, and other industries. 17-4ph Stainless Steel Rod is available in solution-annealed condition, which makes it suitable for soft machining. It can be heat-treated to achieve a variety of different strengths and hardnesses.
