Golf Heads Use EN 1.4057 AISI 431 Stainless Steel Plate And Sheet​

The steel grade EN 1.4057 ( also called ASTM 431 ) is a high tensile strength martensitic stainless steel

with good machinability.

431 stainless steel suits good for production of corrosion resistance details by machining, and

where the steel needs to be resistive to strong oxidizing acids e.g. nitric acid.

Some typical application areas for DIN 1.4057:

• Pump- and Valve parts
• Shafting
• Spindels
• Piston rods
• Fittings
• Stirrers
• Bolts
• Nuts

AISI 431 Grade (EN 1.4057) is a softer stainless steel commonly used in high quality iron heads.

It is said to allow the most forgiving and smoothest feeling iron sets available today.
AISI 17-4PH (EN 1.4542) and 15-5PH (UNS15500) grades are harder and found in professional

style iron and wood heads. They are less common in iron heads, but popular material for woods.
While the harder material will decrease the soft feel found in grade 431, it makes up for it by creating better
ball compression and essentially generating better distance.
