X17CrNi16-2, 1.4057, 1.4044 - specification and application

H17N2A, 2H17N2A and other equivalents are martensitic stainless steels intended for heat treatment showing high mechanical properties and, at the same time, very good corrosion resistance.

In contrast to steels containing ~13% of Chromium (0H13-4H13) - 2H17N2 retains much better corrosion resistance due to the small amount of nickel addition and the increased content of chromium in the composition.

Steel is most often supplied in the form of peeled bars, forged bars, hexagonal bars and even in the form of sheets. Depending on the type of substitute, the hardness that can be obtained on a thermally improved material can sometimes amount to 45 HRC. Some grades, e.g. X17CrNi16-2 / 1.4057, are delivered in heat treated condition +QT800 or +QT900.

The grades described above are used, among others, in the aerospace, marine, food, nitrogen, paper and food industries for particularly loaded parts of pumps, the production of screws, nuts, parts of valves of installations, shafts, sleeves or spindles. H17N2A steel is a special grade used for the manufacture of aircraft parts.

2H17N2A steel shows resistance to nitric acid, phosphoric acid, low concentrations of formic and acetic acids, sea water, and most nitrates.

In addition, the grades do not belong to the group suitable for welding - in the situation of joining materials, additional thermal improvement is recommended in order to maintain adequate resistance to intergranular corrosion.
