Abstract

The effect of the solution & aging treatment on the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area, hardness was studied in the 17-4 PH stainless steel. SEM pictures were also taken in order to examine the fracture surfaces and precipitated particles. X-ray diffraction patterns for the heat treated samples were also observed. Mechanical properties of the heat treated samples were superior to those of as cast samples. Tensile strength, yield strength, hardeness decreased with the increase of aging temperature. On the other hand, elongation and reduction of area increased as the aging temperature increased.
