Heat-Treated 17-4PH Stainless Steel Bar - CNC Machining Grade,
±0.05mm Tolerance
heat-treated 17-4PH stainless steel bars are precision-engineered for high-performance CNC machining
applications requiring exceptional strength, corrosion resistance,
and dimensional accuracy. These bars undergo solution annealing and
aging (H1150 condition) to achieve a hardness of 38–42 HRC,
optimizing them for aerospace, medical, and automotive industries.
With a ultra-tight tolerance of ±0.05mm and a smooth turned
surface, they minimize post-machining work and ensure seamless
integration into critical components. The 17-4PH grade’s unique
combination of martensitic structure and precipitation hardening
delivers superior fatigue resistance, making it ideal for
high-stress environments.

3. Competitive Advantages
① Precision Machining Readiness
Pre-hardened bars with ±0.05mm tolerance reduce CNC cycle times and
tool wear, ensuring cost-effective production of complex parts.
② Optimized Heat Treatment
Controlled aging process enhances mechanical properties while
maintaining corrosion resistance in humid or chemical environments.
③ Aerospace-Grade Compliance
AMS 5643 and Nadcap certifications guarantee material traceability
and consistency for critical aerospace and defense projects.
④ High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
17-4PH’s tensile strength (1310+ MPa) outperforms standard 304/316
grades, ideal for lightweight yet durable components.
⑤ Corrosion & Wear Resistance
Chromium and copper additions provide resistance to oxidation, salt
spray, and abrasive wear in harsh operational conditions.
⑥ Custom Solutions
Available in diameters from 5mm to 100mm, with optional grinding,
polishing, or cut-to-length services.
4. Key Applications
