Product Overview

What are SS 17-4 PH Nuts?

SS 17-4 PH nuts are high-strength, precipitation-hardening stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S17400 bar stock in accordance with ASTM A564/A693. The alloy’s unique combination of chromium (15-17.5%), nickel (3-5%), and copper (3-5%) enables heat treatment to achieve tensile strengths exceeding 1000 MPa, while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.

SS 17-4 PH nuts are widely specified for critical bolted joints in aerospace, chemical processing, and marine applications where both high mechanical strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking are required. They are available in all standard nut forms, including hex, heavy hex, and lock nuts, and are supplied in various heat treatment conditions (H900, H1025, H1150) to suit application requirements.

Material Chemistry

SS 17-4 PH Chemical Composition

SS 17-4 PH Nuts are manufactured from an iron-chromium-nickel alloy with chromium (16–26%), nickel (8–28%), and grade-specific molybdenum additions per ASTM and ASTM A193/A194. Chromium content governs the self-healing passive oxide film; molybdenum (2–6%) enhances chloride pitting resistance; and carbon content determines sensitization risk in welded assemblies.

Why SS 17-4 PH Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

Precipitation Hardening — High Strength
The copper and niobium content in SS 17-4 PH enables precipitation hardening, allowing nuts to be heat treated to achieve tensile strengths above 1000 MPa, ideal for high-load bolted joints.
Chromium — Corrosion Resistance
With 15–17.5% chromium, SS 17-4 PH nuts resist atmospheric, marine, and many chemical environments, outperforming standard martensitic and ferritic stainless steels.
Nickel — Toughness & Ductility
Nickel content ensures good ductility and toughness, even after heat treatment, reducing the risk of brittle failure in critical applications.

SS 17-4 PH nuts are available to DIN 934 (hex nut), ISO 4032, ASME B18.2.2 (inch hex and heavy hex), and DIN 985 (lock nut). Custom prevailing torque and all-metal lock nuts can be supplied to ISO 7040 or customer specification. All nuts are manufactured from ASTM A564/A693 bar or plate and supplied in the required heat treatment condition.
Molybdenum-based or nickel-based anti-seize (such as Molykote P-37 or Never-Seez Pure Nickel) is recommended for SS 17-4 PH nuts, especially in high-load or high-temperature applications. Apply to threads and nut faces to prevent galling and facilitate disassembly. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in chloride or marine environments.
Yes – SS 17-4 PH nuts offer excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in marine and offshore environments, outperforming martensitic and ferritic stainless steels. They are widely used in seawater-exposed bolted joints, offshore platforms, and shipbuilding. For maximum corrosion resistance, specify nuts in the H1150M condition.
No formal MOQ for standard metric and inch sizes (M8-M36) held in stock – single piece supply is available for urgent requirements. Custom sizes or special heat treatment conditions may require a 10 kg minimum. Price breaks are available at 50, 200, and 500 pieces.
