Overview
Why choose precipitation-hardened alloys?
Investment casting with precipitation-hardened alloys delivers precision, complex part production, and near-net-shape capabilities, ideal for demanding applications where performance is crucial.
Consider precipitation-hardened alloys when your parts require:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Excellent fatigue resistance
- Excellent toughness
- Good corrosion resistance
- Wide range of applications
- Controlled ageing process
- Good machinability

Alloy characteristics and uses
15-5
15-5
15-5 PH stainless steel is a precipitation-hardened alloy that offers an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It is a martensitic stainless steel that is heat treated to achieve its desired properties.
17-4
17-4
7-4 PH stainless steel is an excellent choice for applications that require slightly higher strength than 15-5 PH, or where the air-hardening properties can simplify manufacturing.
