AMS 5529 stainless steel plate, made from 17-7PH (UNS S17700), is a high-performance precipitation-hardening stainless steel that has become a preferred material in the aerospace industry. It offers a rare combination of high strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, making it ideal for demanding environments such as aircraft structures, landing gear components, and spring systems.
AMS 5529 is a specification established by SAE International for annealed (Condition A) 17-7PH stainless steel sheets and plates. This material is primarily used when high mechanical strength and good corrosion resistance are required after simple heat treatments. It can be further aged to Condition RH950 or CH900 to achieve extremely high strength.
Element | Content |
---|---|
Chromium (Cr) | 16.0 – 18.0% |
Nickel (Ni) | 6.5 – 7.8% |
Aluminum (Al) | 0.75 – 1.50% |
Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.0% |
Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.09% |
Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.04% |
Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03% |
Property | RH950 Condition |
---|---|
Tensile Strength | ≥ 1310 MPa |
Yield Strength (0.2%) | ≥ 1170 MPa |
Elongation | ≥ 5% |
