Crucible 17Cr-4Ni shows a significant improvement in ductility in all conditions, especially the solution-treated condition. In addition, the steel is markedly tougher than conventional 17Cr-4Ni as measured by Charpy impact tests.
Crucible 17Cr-4Ni Super-X is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel which is capable of a high strength and hardness levels after a relatively simple heat-treatment procedure. This grade is martensitic and magnetic in both the solution-treated and precipitation-hardened conditions. It has high resistance to crack propagation, good transverse properties, and corrosion resistance is normally superior to the regular martensitic chromium-type of stainless steel. Because of the single low-temperature (900-1150°F) precipitation-hardening heat treatment of this grade, scaling and distortion are virtually eliminated. This enables materials to be finish machined to close tolerance prior to heat treatment.
