PRECIPITATION HARDENING

Custom 465 / 1.4614 Stainless Steel

Custom 465 is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel considered where high strength must be combined with toughness and corrosion requirements. Applications include precision structural and connection blanks. Premium melting practice and the selected ageing condition help define the properties required under the alloy name.

Target property balance through ageing

Conditions such as H950 and H1000 are not different names for one delivery state. Target strength, fracture toughness and stress-corrosion requirements are considered with the appropriate final condition. An H code alone does not explain the component’s full behaviour without specifying processing after machining or welding.

Assessment as an alternative to alloy steel

Custom 465 may be considered when seeking alternatives to high-strength alloy steels requiring corrosion protection. This does not permit substitution for 4340 or 300M without approval. Design stresses, fatigue, connection geometry and manufacturing route need review, with specification compliance confirmed for the project.

Match product form to documentation scope

AMS 5936 is one example for bar, wire, forgings and forging stock, including solution-treated delivery and vacuum-melting requirements. The same number cannot be transferred to every plate or tubing size. Include product form, dimensions, final condition and inspection needs together in the enquiry.

Typical application areas

Aerospace structural connections, actuator parts, high-strength shafts.
