17-22 PH Round Bars Manufacturer, Stockist and Exporter

17-22 PH Round Bars are high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel bars commonly used in aerospace, oil and gas, and chemical processing industries. These bars belong to the precipitation-hardening category, combining excellent mechanical properties with moderate corrosion resistance. They are heat-treatable and can achieve high tensile and yield strength through solution annealing followed by aging. 17-22 PH Round Bars are particularly suited for applications requiring a balance of toughness, hardness, and dimensional stability. Their excellent fatigue resistance makes them ideal for high-stress environments. They are also available in various diameters and lengths to accommodate custom fabrication needs. The combination of these properties ensures long service life and reliable performance in critical components.

These round bars are manufactured using advanced metallurgical processes to ensure consistent quality and uniform composition. They typically consist of iron, chromium, nickel, and copper, with small additions of molybdenum and titanium to enhance strength and corrosion resistance. The precise control of alloying elements allows 17-22 PH Round Bars to be hardened through heat treatment without compromising ductility. Their ability to resist pitting and stress corrosion cracking makes them a preferred choice for marine and chemical applications. Additionally, they maintain excellent surface finish, which is beneficial for aesthetic components and precision engineering. This makes them highly versatile across multiple industrial sectors. They are supplied in both standard and custom specifications according to client requirements.

Heat treatment of 17-22 PH Round Bars involves solution annealing followed by aging at controlled temperatures. This process promotes the precipitation of strengthening phases, which significantly enhances hardness and tensile strength. The material can reach hardness values ranging from 28 to 42 HRC, depending on the aging cycle. Proper heat treatment also improves fatigue life and wear resistance, making these bars suitable for gears, shafts, and structural components under cyclic loading. The combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance enables them to perform reliably in both high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Engineers and designers often prefer 17-22 PH Round Bars for their predictable behavior during machining and forming processes. Their uniform microstructure ensures minimal distortion during fabrication.

Corrosion resistance is a key attribute of 17-22 PH Round Bars. They resist oxidation, chloride-induced corrosion, and intergranular attack better than standard stainless steels. This makes them suitable for marine, chemical, and petrochemical applications where exposure to harsh environments is common. The bars can withstand both acidic and alkaline conditions, extending the service life of critical components. In addition, surface treatments like passivation can further improve resistance to corrosion and surface contamination. Their ability to maintain mechanical properties in aggressive conditions adds to their versatility. Regular inspection and proper maintenance can maximize the performance of these round bars. Manufacturers also provide certifications for chemical composition and mechanical properties to ensure reliability.

Machining and fabrication of 17-22 PH Round Bars are straightforward due to their excellent mechanical properties and uniform microstructure. They can be easily turned, milled, or drilled using standard equipment, although hardened conditions may require carbide tools. Welding is possible but often requires pre- and post-heat treatment to retain optimal mechanical properties. These bars are widely used in precision engineering components such as fasteners, valves, aerospace fittings, and medical instruments. Their high strength-to-weight ratio makes them suitable for lightweight yet durable applications. Industries relying on high-performance materials benefit from their combination of machinability and hardness. Additionally, their dimensional accuracy ensures compatibility with automated assembly lines and tight tolerances.

17-22 PH Round Bars are also valued for their fatigue and wear resistance. Components made from these bars exhibit extended lifespan under repetitive loading conditions. The material’s toughness prevents sudden brittle failure, which is critical in safety-sensitive applications such as aircraft parts and pressure vessels. Wear resistance is particularly beneficial in sliding or rotating parts, reducing the need for frequent replacement. The bars are often supplied with polished finishes to enhance appearance and minimize surface defects. Custom lengths and diameters are available to suit specific engineering needs. This versatility allows them to serve a wide range of applications from heavy machinery to precision instruments. Their reliability in challenging environments makes them a preferred choice among engineers and designers.

In summary, 17-22 PH Round Bars offer a unique combination of high strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and machinability. They are ideal for applications requiring reliable performance under harsh conditions. Available in multiple sizes and custom specifications, they cater to industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing, and marine engineering. Heat treatment and aging processes allow precise control over mechanical properties. Their balanced composition ensures durability without sacrificing formability. With proper maintenance, these bars provide long-term service, minimizing downtime and replacement costs. Overall, 17-22 PH Round Bars are a premium choice for high-performance industrial applications.
