MasterWeld MW17-4PH
Product Description:
MasterWeld MW17-4PH is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel TIG (GTAW) welding wire, conforming to AWS A5.9 ER630 specifications. It's engineered for welding materials like ASTM A564 Type 630 (17-4 PH) and similar alloys such as 15-5 and 17-7 stainless steels. The weld deposits exhibit high strength, good corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties, making it suitable for applications in aerospace, petrochemical, and general engineering industries.
