Heat Treatment
Solution treated, then aged to the specified H conditionCondition A is the solution-treated starting state; aging to H900, H1025 or H1150 sets the final strength–toughness balance.
What we can make in 17-4 PH
Forms & dimension guideSquare head
Capture the square head in a matching slot or pocket to stop rotation while tightening from the nut side. Head width and pocket clearance determine how much turning play remains.
Locating shank
Use a machined step or shank to locate fixture plates and adjustable tooling. Specify its fit to the mating bore when repeatable position matters; thread clearance cannot provide that locating accuracy.

- Manufacturing
- CNC-machine the square head and locating features for short runs. Production blanks can be formed; precision locating diameters and steps receive final machining and measurement.
- Final condition
- Aging establishes the H-condition. Precision locating surfaces are finished and checked in the final condition.

Where 17-4 PH fits — and what matters

Automotive & EV Manufacturing Equipment
Assembly fixtures and test-rig frames17-4 PH square-head positioning bolts set stops and clamp positions on assembly fixtures and test-rig frames. The square head provides tool purchase while the end face or point bears on the positioned component. Repeated tooling changes require consistent seating and repeatable assembly dimensions.

Industrial Machinery & Automation
Machine frames and positioning fixtures17-4 PH square-head positioning bolts set stops and clamp positions on machine frames and positioning fixtures. The square head provides tool purchase while the end face or point bears on the positioned component. Alignment, operating cycles and replacement access define the working interface.

Pumps, Valves & OEM
Actuator mounts and pump baseplates17-4 PH square-head positioning bolts set stops and clamp positions on actuator mounts and pump baseplates. The square head provides tool purchase while the end face or point bears on the positioned component. Repeated maintenance makes fit, engagement and access part of the component specification.

Is the threaded diameter the locating dimension?
Usually the drawing assigns location to a shoulder, step or controlled shank rather than to the thread crest. Identify the locating datum and fit explicitly; the square head may only prevent rotation or provide wrench access.
