Age hardening processes cause a wide range of changes in 17-4 PH stainless steel properties. Aging at 480ºC for 1 hour (A480-1) and aging at 620ºC for 4 hours (A620-4) are two most applicable heat treatment processes for this alloy. Not only the studies on fatigue behavior of this alloy in these two heat treatment conditions are few, but also the methods of fatigue test were mostly ax...
