Hello,
I am trying to upgrade a component that is currently electroless nickel-plated 4340, approx 160ksi ultimate strength to a corrosion-resistant / uncoated material.
It is essentially a tapered wedge collar connecting a ductile iron sleeve with female taper to a straight shaft with straight cylindrical contour. The shaft is generally low carbon steel or 304 or 316 stainless steel. The taper angle is considered "locking" so galling and strength are both critical properties.
17-4PH H1025 (CB7Cu-1) would be perfect except it has poor galling characteristics vs. 300 series stainless.
416 and Nitronic 60 are interesting but strength is much lower. 440C is stronger and good on 316 but poor on 304.
Looking for ideas, and cast grades are actually preferred.
Thanks, David
