Yes it is state function

Enthalpy is the amount of energy in a system and when this changes (when a reaction happens), the energy is either released (exothermic) or absorbed (endothermic) and this energy is usually released or absorbed as heat. Therefore when the enthalpy decreases, heat is released from the system making it exothermic. In contrast, when the enthalpy increases, heat is absorbed making it endothermic.
state function did not depend on the path , it depends on the initial and final point of the system where as path function depends on the path of the reaction.
The enthalpy of 17-4 PH stainless steel, like other materials, is not a fixed value and can vary depending on the temperature and phase of the material. Typically, the specific heat capacity for stainless steels is around 500 J/kg·K, which can be used in conjunction with temperature change to estimate enthalpy changes. For precise enthalpy values, reference to material property databases or specific experimental data is necessary.

Enthalpy mathematically is the sum of the internal energy and work done in a process.internal energy is the sum of the kinetic energy,potential energy,vibrational energies etc
