17-7PH is an austenitic-martensite precipitation hardening stainless steel developed based on 18-8CrNi, also known as controlled phase transformation stainless steel. 17-4PH stainless steel is a stainless steel material with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is an alloy material that improves the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of stainless steel by adding elements such as copper and aluminum. 17-4PH stainless steel has good forgeability and workability, and its hardness and strength can be changed through heat treatment.

The manufacturing process of stainless steel and alloys involves multiple steps to transform raw materials into flat,rectangular sheets or plates made of stainless steel and alloys. Here are a few key steps for stainless steel and alloys:
Molten stainless steel and alloys are cast into large ingots or billets through a casting process.
During the hot rolling process,the thickness of the steel ingot is gradually reduced and elongated to form long strips or coils.
Annealing involves heating stainless steel and alloys to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it.
Cold rolling is carried out through rolling mills to reduce thickness to meet customer specifications.
