Qu17-4PH Bobbin – Laser Welding Wire 1.4542 / 17-4PH (X5CrNiCuNb16-4 / AISI 630)

Qu17-4PH Bobbin – Laser Welding Wire 1.4542 / 17-4PH (X5CrNiCuNb16-4 / AISI 630)

Qu17-4PH is a precipitation-hardening, corrosion-resistant laser welding wire of the alloy 17-4PH (material 1.4542 / X5CrNiCuNb16-4, AISI 630). This martensitic chromium-nickel-copper steel combines high strength with good corrosion resistance — ideal for repair and build-up welding in tool and mould making as well as on pump, valve and shaft components.

Recommended base materials

  • 1.4542 — X5CrNiCuNb16-4 / 17-4PH / AISI 630 (primary material)
  • 1.4540 — X4CrNiCuNb16-4 (identical-type variant)
  • 1.4548 — X5CrNiCuNb17-4 (identical-type variant)

Typical applications

  • Tool and mould making — repair and build-up welding
  • Pump, valve and fitting components
  • Shafts, axles and highly stressed machine parts
  • Offshore, chemical and food technology
  • Aerospace components

Properties and advantages

  • Precipitation-hardening (Cu/Nb) — high strength through ageing (heat-treatment conditions H900/H1025/H1150)
  • Achievable hardness 37–40 HRC per manufacturer datasheet
  • Good corrosion resistance at high mechanical load capacity
  • Identical-type weld metal for durable, low-crack joints
  • Shielding gas: argon 4.6 or better; adapt heat control to the aged condition of the component

Bobbin form: K125, K80, MA125, SH253 — wire weight 100 g–500 g, Ø 0,3 mm – 0,6 mm.
