Product Overview

What are SS 17-4 PH Studs?

SS 17-4 PH studs are high-strength, precipitation-hardening stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S17400 bar stock conforming to ASTM A564. The alloy’s unique combination of chromium (15-17.5%), nickel (3-5%), and copper (3-5%) enables martensitic transformation and precipitation hardening, delivering tensile strengths up to 1310 MPa in the H900 condition.

These studs offer excellent corrosion resistance, superior mechanical properties, and outstanding toughness in both base metal and welds. SS 17-4 PH studs are widely specified for critical bolted joints in aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, and marine applications where high strength and moderate corrosion resistance are required.

Material Chemistry

SS 17-4 PH Chemical Composition

SS 17-4 PH Studs 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 Studs

Precipitation Hardening — High Strength
The copper and niobium content enables precipitation hardening, allowing SS 17-4 PH studs to reach tensile strengths up to 1310 MPa after heat treatment (H900–H1150), making them ideal for high-load bolted joints.
Chromium — Corrosion Resistance
With 15–17.5% chromium, SS 17-4 PH offers corrosion resistance superior to standard martensitic stainless steels, suitable for mildly aggressive environments and atmospheric exposure.
Nickel — Toughness & Ductility
Nickel content improves toughness and ductility, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic and cyclic loading applications such as turbine and compressor assemblies.

Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on SS 17-4 PH studs selection and pricing.
SS 17-4 PH stud bolts are available to DIN 976 (metric full thread), DIN 975 (threaded rod), ASME B16.5 (flange studs), and ASME B18.31.2 (inch continuous thread). Custom thread forms (UNC, UNF, BSW, BSF) and cut lengths are available on request with typical lead times of 10-15 working days.
Use molybdenum-based or PTFE anti-seize compound (such as Molykote 1000 or Loctite LB 8014) on threads and nut faces to prevent galling. Avoid copper-based anti-seize, as it can cause galvanic corrosion with stainless steel. Lubricated torque values should be reduced by 20% compared to dry assembly.
Yes – SS 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance than standard martensitic stainless steels and is suitable for marine atmospheres, splash zones, and deck machinery. For continuous seawater immersion, consider duplex or super duplex grades for enhanced pitting resistance.
No formal MOQ for standard metric sizes (M12-M36) held ex-stock – we supply from single pieces for urgent maintenance. Custom cut lengths or inch sizes typically require a 10 kg minimum. Price breaks are available at 50 pcs, 200 pcs, and 500 pcs.
