Custom 465 Info./Experience

[mighoser]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this alloy before. I've been to Cartech and have all of their spec sheets as well as spoken with some of the metalurgists at Carpenter. I was wondering if anyone has done testing or fielded hardware etc. using this alloy. I'm considering it for a drop in replacement of 17-4 H900 because of my customers prohibition of PH aging below 1000F (SCC susceptability). Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Look at MIL-HDBK-5J, it is included their and this is the best approval you oan have that you can use this alloy safely at H950 and H1000. Only that H900 condition is the one that need to avoided if possible.

You can use the Custom 455 too which is in the market for many years.

I have made tubing in both grades. I do like working with 465. It has been straightforward and always given the expected results. (that and I can't make 17-4 tubing)

Israelkk,

I've got the info from MIL-HDBK-5 (MMPDS). Also my customer has Custom 465 H950 and H1000 as approve metallic materials. I've already ordered a couple hundred pounds of is but was looking for anyone who had done testing (corrosion, fatigue, formability,machinability,etc.) I have the carpenter data for fatigue. The MMPDS data doesn't add anything not already in the Cartech spec sheet.

Thanks for responding

Thanks Ed.,

I remember our conversations about 465. Easier to work and less sensative to process than 455. Anything else? Testing?
