Does anyone know where I can locate the NDTT or DBTT (Nil ductility or ductil to brittle transition temps) for 174-h900?

Thanks

I meant to write 17-4 h900, instead of 174-h900. Sorry for the mix up.
 
I couldn’t locate specific impact energy data below room temperature in the literature I have for 17-4PH in this heat treatment condition. At room temperature, the value reported is about 20 ft-lbs minimum CVN impact energy at the 900 heat treatment condition*. Below room temperature, the impact energy for this heat treatment condition is going to decrease in value so if there is a so-called DBTT it might be above RT, if you can find CVN data at elevated temperature.

Many thanks. This is exactly the info I've been looking for.
