Description:
Stainless Steel 17-4PH is an iron-based alloy known for its corrosion resistance and strength. It can be machined, shot-peened, and polished in both as-built and heat-treated states. Achieving optimal hardness and mechanical properties requires solution annealing and aging treatment, following ASTM A564-13 standards. Typical applications include acid and corrosion-resistant engineering parts and medical instruments such as surgical tools and orthopedic instrumentation.

CNC machined part without surface finishes (3D render, aluminium)Bead blasting (3D render)
Bead blasting
Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Notes:The recommended part size is 6-600 mm in both height and width. Smaller parts are hard to hold and tough to produce an even surface.
Final result:
- Uniform, matte or satin-like appearance
- Slightly grainy in the touch
