Ubique Alloys Pvt. Ltd is a noticeable distributor of SS 17-4 PH Sheets and Plates, which is weldable by common fusion and resistance methods. Oxyacetylene welding is not preferred for Stainless Steel 17-4 PH Plates; because the use of slow speeds and constant positive feeds will minimize this alloy’s tendency to work harden. The characteristics of Stainless Steel 17-4 PH Coils may be better suited for environments where stabilization is a primary concern. SS 17-4 PH Plates is used in Recuperator tube sheets, Fired heater tubes, Equipment in and around reactors, etc. SS 17-4 PH Coils is non hardenable by heat treatment, and can only be hardened by cold working. 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Sheets has supplanted these stabilized grades for applications involving only welding or short time heating. 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Plates only have 30% of the thermal conductivity of non-alloyed steels, but their fusion point is lower than that of non-alloyed steel therefore austenitic steels have to be welded with lower heat input than non-alloyed steels.

17-4 PH Stainless Steel Coils is also used in Oil Refineries, Fluid catalytic cracking units (FCC), Firearms production, Hanger rods, Recuperator tube sheets, shell, supports, etc. Alloy 17-4 PH Sheets is a stabilized, austenitic, chromium steel containing columbium which allows for the elimination of carbide precipitation, and, consequently, inter-granular corrosion.
