CarTech Custom 465 stainless is a premium melted, martensitic, age-hardenable alloy capable of ultimate tensile strength in excess of 250 ksi in the overaged (H 950) condition. This alloy was designed to have excellent notch tensile strength and fracture toughness in this condition.

Overaging to the H1000 condition provides a superior combination of strength, toughness and stress corrosion cracking resistance compared with other high-strength PH stainless alloys such as CarTech Custom 455 stainless or CarTech 13-8 stainless.

Applications:
CarTech Custom 465 stainless has been used in a wide variety of applications including:

• Aerospace: landing gear components, slat components, torque tubes, pneumatic cylinders, braces, struts, fuse pins, gimbals, and other structural elements

• Automotive: suspension coil springs, engine valve springs, torsion bars and instrumented wheel sensors

• Medical: endoscopic instruments, scrapers, cutters, and suture needles

• Oil field: drive shafts, mud motors, and other downhole drilling tools

• Sporting goods: golf club faceplates, wire face shields for field sports, and big-bore firearms cylinders

• High performance racing: speed boat propellers
