Ulbrich has become an industry leader in producing alloys with a track record of dependability and expertise. One alloy in particular deserves significant attention because of its versatility and usefulness in solving complex problems, and this is the 17-7PH® stainless steel (S17700, DIN 1.4568, ASTM A693).
17-7PH behaves similarly to type 301 in its semi-austenitic state upon forming, but it is capable of being heat treated from its annealed condition. Once heat treated, 17-7PH offers exceptional properties: high strength and hardness, good fatigue properties and corrosion resistance.
Ulbrich continues to develop capabilities and solutions for high-performance specialty alloys for various applications. 17-7PH stainless steel is suitable for aerospace applications or for uses requiring high strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. These applications may include springs, washers, and strain gauges at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C). Ulbrich excels at rolling, heat treating and finishing 17-7PH at various widths, thicknesses, edges and custom shapes. As a capabilities-driven company, Ulbrichs accomplishments with this stainless steel alloy are well-documented and continuously improving.
