17-7PH Stainless Steel U Channels

Our 17-7PH Stainless Steel U Channels are crafted from premium chromium-nickel-aluminum precipitation hardening stainless steel. These specialized Stainless Steel Channel products deliver exceptional performance with high strength and hardness, maintaining their properties up to 600˚F (316˚C). As a leading Stainless Steel U Channel solution, the 17-7PH grade can be easily formed in the austenitic condition, similar to Type 301 stainless steel, while offering corrosion resistance comparable to Type 304.

Performance Characteristics of 17-7PH Stainless Steel U Channels

Our Stainless Steel U Channel products feature:

• High-strength capabilities through precipitation hardening
• Exceptional yield strength reaching 1100-1300 MPa (160-190 ksi)
• Optimal performance up to 572°F (300°C)
• Corrosion resistance equivalent to Alloy 304 or 430
• Superior formability in austenitic condition
• Minimal distortion during heat treatment

Applications and Usage Recommendations

17-7PH Stainless Steel U Channels excel in various applications:

• Precision spring components
• High-strength washers and eyelets
• Specialized fittings and fasteners
• Engineering applications requiring:
  • High strength requirements
  • Moderate corrosion resistance
  • Temperature resistance up to 600˚F
  • Dimensional stability

Special Note: While our 17-7PH Stainless Steel Channel products offer exceptional performance, they are not recommended for:

• Applications above 572°F (300°C)
• Extremely low-temperature environments
• Highly corrosive conditions beyond typical atmospheric exposure or diluted acids

Each 17-7PH Stainless Steel U Channel can be customized through heat treatment to optimize mechanical properties for specific application requirements.
