Working with PH14-8Mo SRH1050
Is PH14-8Mo easy to machine?
Machine in Condition A with rigid setups, positive-rake carbide and heavy feeds to avoid work-hardened glazing; after SRH/CH aging expect grinding or ceramic/CBN tooling and ~25–35 % of 1212 rates.
Can PH14-8Mo be welded?
GTAW/resistance welding in Condition A with matching or 17-7PH-type filler works well; the full conditioning + aging cycle must be re-applied after welding to restore properties, and heavy weld sections lose ductility.
Can PH14-8Mo be formed, bent or molded?
Form, draw and roll in Condition A (behaves like a mildly work-hardening austenitic), then transform and age; springback and cold-work-induced martensite must be allowed for in tooling.
What surface finishes work on PH14-8Mo?
Passivate per ASTM A967 or electropolish; the Al-bearing surface oxide should be removed by pickling before plating or brazing, and shot peening is common on aged springs.

PH14-8Mo SRH1050 — frequently asked
What is PH14-8Mo SRH1050 used for?
PH14-8Mo SRH1050 is typically used for aerospace structural fasteners, springs, diaphragms and high-strength brackets. In short: stronger than 17-7PH; semi-austenitic PH sheet grade; forms soft, ages hard.
What is the yield strength of PH14-8Mo SRH1050?
PH14-8Mo SRH1050 has a typical yield strength of 1,310 MPa (190 ksi) and a tensile strength of 1,420 MPa (206 ksi) — stronger than 99% of stainless steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 4 listed tempers.
Is PH14-8Mo SRH1050 easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (28/100, worse than 79% of stainless steel grades). Machine in Condition A with rigid setups, positive-rake carbide and heavy feeds to avoid work-hardened glazing; after SRH/CH aging expect grinding or ceramic/CBN tooling and ~25–35 % of 1212 rates.
Can PH14-8Mo SRH1050 be welded?
With care — weldability is rated fair (38/100). GTAW/resistance welding in Condition A with matching or 17-7PH-type filler works well; the full conditioning + aging cycle must be re-applied after welding to restore properties, and heavy weld sections lose ductility.
What surface finishes work on PH14-8Mo SRH1050?
Passivate per ASTM A967 or electropolish; the Al-bearing surface oxide should be removed by pickling before plating or brazing, and shot peening is common on aged springs.
Can PH14-8Mo SRH1050 be formed, bent or molded?
Form, draw and roll in Condition A (behaves like a mildly work-hardening austenitic), then transform and age; springback and cold-work-induced martensite must be allowed for in tooling.
What is the maximum service temperature of PH14-8Mo SRH1050?
PH14-8Mo SRH1050 is rated for continuous use to about 480°C (896 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between PH14-8Mo-A and PH14-8Mo-CH900?
A is the default condition — as-supplied formable condition — choose for forming, machining and welding before the transformation/aging cycle. CH900: maximum-strength thin strip condition for flat springs, diaphragms and shims where forming is done before aging. Yield strength is 415 MPa in A versus 1,720 MPa in CH900.
