Working with CB7Cu-1-H1150M
Is CB7Cu-1 easy to machine?
Machine in Condition A or H1150 with rigid setups, sharp positive-rake carbide, 60–110 m/min and heavy feeds to break the work-hardening skin; H900 parts should be finish-ground rather than turned.
Can CB7Cu-1 be welded?
Weldable by GTAW/GMAW with matching 17-4PH (AWS A5.9 ER630) filler, low heat input and no preheat needed on thin sections; re-solution treat and re-age after welding for full properties, or at minimum re-age at the specified H-temperature.
Can CB7Cu-1 be formed, bent or molded?
Cast only — good fluidity in sand and investment moulds, but design generous risers and 3–5 % solidification feed since the alloy is prone to shrinkage porosity in heavy sections; HIP is common for critical parts.
What surface finishes work on CB7Cu-1?
Passivate per ASTM A967 (nitric or citric) after machining; takes a good mechanical or electropolish; hard chrome, nitriding or PVD can be applied below the aging temperature to avoid over-tempering.

CB7Cu-1-H1150M is typically used for pump casings and impellers, valve bodies, marine hardware, aerospace structural castings and chemical processing equipment. In short: cast 17-4PH equivalent; high-strength PH casting; nine aging conditions.
What is the yield strength of CB7Cu-1-H1150M?
CB7Cu-1-H1150M has a typical yield strength of 590 MPa (85.6 ksi) and a tensile strength of 790 MPa (115 ksi) — stronger than 86% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 9 listed tempers.
Is CB7Cu-1-H1150M easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated fair (50/100, better than 90% of stainless steel grades). Machine in Condition A or H1150 with rigid setups, sharp positive-rake carbide, 60–110 m/min and heavy feeds to break the work-hardening skin; H900 parts should be finish-ground rather than turned.
Can CB7Cu-1-H1150M be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated good (60/100). Weldable by GTAW/GMAW with matching 17-4PH (AWS A5.9 ER630) filler, low heat input and no preheat needed on thin sections; re-solution treat and re-age after welding for full properties, or at minimum re-age at the specified H-temperature.
What surface finishes work on CB7Cu-1-H1150M?
Passivate per ASTM A967 (nitric or citric) after machining; takes a good mechanical or electropolish; hard chrome, nitriding or PVD can be applied below the aging temperature to avoid over-tempering.
Can CB7Cu-1-H1150M be formed, bent or molded?
Cast only — good fluidity in sand and investment moulds, but design generous risers and 3–5 % solidification feed since the alloy is prone to shrinkage porosity in heavy sections; HIP is common for critical parts.
What is the maximum service temperature of CB7Cu-1-H1150M?
CB7Cu-1-H1150M is rated for continuous use to about 315°C (599 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between CB7Cu-1-H1150 and CB7Cu-1-H900?
H1150 is the default condition — most widely ordered condition: best toughness, ductility and SCC/sour-service behaviour with still-high 790 MPa class yield — default for pump and valve castings. H900: maximum strength and hardness; choose for wear-prone valve trim and high-load parts where toughness and SCC resistance are secondary. Yield strength is 790 MPa in H1150 versus 1,240 MPa in H900.
