17-4 PH strip
ASTM A693
17-4 PH strip combines aging-controlled strength and hardness with a thin section for clips, shims and formed parts. Edge condition, temper and rolling direction affect both production feeding and the finished bend.

Raw Material Specifications
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
Coiled strip
Use for progressive stamping, spring clips and repeated forming. Strip width, thickness and coil dimensions must suit the tool and feed line to maintain consistent component geometry.
Cut lengths
Use for short-run brackets, shims and fabricated pieces when coil handling adds unnecessary setup. Flatness and length tolerance help the blank seat consistently in the tool.
Edge & camber
For narrow stamped or formed parts, control slit-edge burrs to protect tools and contact surfaces. Excess camber pulls the strip away from the intended feed path and affects registration.

Supply & preparation
Slitting and cut-length preparation follow the requested width, thickness and edge condition. Rolling direction is retained where the forming drawing needs it.
Material condition
Solution treatment and the specified aging condition are recorded against the production lot; final dimensions are checked after thermal processing.
Finished geometry
Thickness variation, edge burr, coil set and surface finish determine suitability for the next stamping or forming step.
Where 17-4 PH fits — and what matters
Industrial Machinery & Automation
Machine housings and service covers17-4 PH strip is slit and formed into shims, retaining clips or seal-support pieces around machine housings and service covers. Thickness, edge finish and bend direction control the finished fit. Alignment, operating cycles and replacement access define the working interface.
Automotive & EV Manufacturing Equipment
Test-equipment housings17-4 PH strip is slit and formed into shims, retaining clips or seal-support pieces around test-equipment housings. Thickness, edge finish and bend direction control the finished fit. Repeated tooling changes require consistent seating and repeatable assembly dimensions.
Pumps, Valves & OEM
Pump casings and valve bonnets17-4 PH strip is slit and formed into shims, retaining clips or seal-support pieces around pump casings and valve bonnets. Thickness, edge finish and bend direction control the finished fit. Repeated maintenance makes fit, engagement and access part of the component specification.
Same strip. Different material priorities.
17-4 PH material data316L
Molybdenum-bearing stainless performance in wet equipment.
- Connection priority
- The stiffness and recovery of the formed strip section
- Washdown and retained cleaner
- Cleaner concentration, rinse quality and deposits determine the exposure in covered joints. The low-carbon designation does not independently establish a fastener strength class. Include liquid retained at slit edges, overlap faces and highly strained bends in the exposure description.
Inconel 625
Solid-solution strength and resistance to aggressive process liquids.
- Connection priority
- The stiffness and recovery of the formed strip section
- Annealed or solution-annealed 625
- The delivery condition affects strength and high-temperature response. Keep the specified condition with the component’s mechanical acceptance; 718-style aging is not the strengthening route for 625. Include liquid retained at slit edges, overlap faces and highly strained bends in the exposure description.
Duplex 2205
Duplex strength and chloride-corrosion resistance.
- Connection priority
- The stiffness and recovery of the formed strip section
- S31803 or S32205
- The specified UNS fixes the chemistry. Solution treatment, section size and the ordered mechanical or corrosion tests establish the final duplex condition. Include liquid retained at slit edges, overlap faces and highly strained bends in the exposure description.

Questions about 17-4 PH strip
Why does edge condition belong on a strip order?
A slit edge can become the most highly strained edge during forming. Burr direction, edge finish and the chosen bend radius affect the next operation and the finished contact surface.
