15 5 Stainless Steel

Stainless steel 15 5 is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel that is used in a variety of applications.

15 5 stainless steel.

For technical drawings and 3 d models click on a part number. It possesses all the advantages of 17 4 ph including single low temperature thermal treatment. 15 5 is an age hardening martensitic stainless steel. 15 5 ph stainless steel 15 5 ph stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening type stainless steel.

It also offers excellent transverse notch toughness ductility and very good uniformity of properties. Offering outstanding strength 15 5 ph stainless steel is often used for gears and shafts. The 15 5 ph alloy is martensitic in structure in the annealed condition and is further strengthened by a relatively low temperature heat treatment which precipitates a copper containing phase in the alloy. Stainless steel sheet plate 15 5 is normally used in natural gas petroleum oil aerospace food and beverage and industrial applications.

Type 15 5 ph is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that provides high strength good corrosion resistance good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600 f 316 c and good toughness in both the longitudinal and transverse directions in both base metal and welds. Both alloys exhibit high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. 15 5 uns s15500. 15 5 is a variant of the older 17 4 chromium nickel copper precipitation hardening stainless steel.

The mechanical properties in larger sections and forgeability are superior to that of. Because of its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance this alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry for most fasteners and structural components. 15 5 stainless steel can be solution heat treated at approximately 1 900 f 1 038 c. 15 5 sheet plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.

Tempered 15 5 ph stainless steel can achieve brinell scale hardness of up to 420 and rockwell hardness of up to c40. An austenitic nitrogen strengthened stainless steel. 15 5 is a precipitation hardened martensitic stainless steel alloy that is melted in aod var aod esr or vim var melt type. The 15 5 ph alloy was designed to have greater toughness than 17 4 ph.

Heat treating 15 5 ph alloy stainless steel. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1100 f. This alloy is an improved version of 17 4 that offers better toughness. High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees f.

It is best applied in situations requiring better corrosion resistance and transverse properties compared to other similar martensitic grades. 15 5 ph is ideal for applications where workability hardness capability and high corrosion resistance in temperate conditions are required.
