Precipitation-hardening stainless steels (often called PH steels) offer similar characteristics to stainless steels and nickel alloys but with one fundamental difference.
Small traces of aluminium, phosphorus, copper or titanium is included in the alloying mix. After the age-hardening process, the resulting alloy is significantly stronger and has greater hardness. Pair this with stainless steel's well-earned reputation for corrosion resistance results in an alloy that offers engineers more options.
Our PH steel bars are typically supplied annealed or tempered, each with unique characteristics. Tempered products are rolled to incredible hardness levels, while annealed products are softer and easily formed. These features demonstrate the versatility of the alloy and find use in various Global engineering markets.
We stock various precipitation-hardening stainless steel bars in multiple sizes to suit your engineering projects.
Precipitation-hardening steels are available for supply in three common types with differing characteristics.
PH steels offers a credible alternative to traditional stainless steels due to improved mechanical properties and characteristics.
Precipitation-hardening stainless steels are normally supplied annealed or tempered - each has unique benefits relating to the finished alloy.
Our products find regular use in aerospace and marine applications due to possessing all the benefits of stainless steel but with added strength and hardness.
