17-4 PH is bought for strength, not corrosion resistance. Copper precipitates during a single low-temperature ageing treatment, so parts can be machined in the solution-annealed condition and then hardened with minimal distortion. The condition designation — H900 through H1150 — matters more than the grade name, because it sets the strength and toughness the part will actually have.
Pitting resistance equivalent. Higher resists chlorides better.
Indexed to 304. Indicative, for specification triage.
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys manufactures, stocks, supplies and exports 17-4 PH Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel in 11 product forms from Mumbai. Martensitic PH grade. Machine soft, then age to tensile strengths above 1300 MPa. Rajgranth Metal & Alloys has been trading since 1980, is self-funded and debt-free, and despatches most orders from its Mumbai stockyard within two days.

17-4 PH Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel is also designated UNS S17400, EN 1.4542, AISI 630, JIS SUS630 and Werkstoff X5CrNiCuNb16-4.
Strengths: Tensile strength above 1300 MPa in the H900 condition, Hardens with minimal dimensional change, Corrosion resistance broadly comparable to 304 and Machinable in the annealed condition before hardening. Limitations: Magnetic in all conditions, Notch sensitive at the highest strength conditions, Not suitable for chloride service — no molybdenum and Hydrogen embrittlement risk if plated without bake-out.
