15 5 Stainless Steel

The mechanical properties in larger sections and forgeability are superior to that of.

15 5 stainless steel.

Offering outstanding strength 15 5 ph stainless steel is often used for gears and shafts. 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 uns s15500. 15 5 is a variant of the older 17 4 chromium nickel copper precipitation hardening stainless steel.

15 5 sheet plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths. Both alloys exhibit high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. This alloy is an improved version of 17 4 that offers better toughness. The 15 5 ph alloy was designed to have greater toughness than 17 4 ph.

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 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. Tempered 15 5 ph stainless steel can achieve brinell scale hardness of up to 420 and rockwell hardness of up to c40. It can be considered for oil and gas industry applications such as nonmagnetic drill collars stabilizers and mwd housings especially when high strength 140 ksi 966 mpa minimum yield strength is desired.

It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1100 f. 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. Stainless steel 15 5 is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel that is used in a variety of applications. Stainless steel sheet plate 15 5 is normally used in natural gas petroleum oil aerospace food and beverage and industrial applications.

It also offers excellent transverse notch toughness ductility and very good uniformity of properties. Heat treating 15 5 ph alloy stainless steel. 15 5 ph is ideal for applications where workability hardness capability and high corrosion resistance in temperate conditions are required.

High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees f. It possesses all the advantages of 17 4 ph including single low temperature thermal treatment. It should be allowed to cool to below 90 f 32 c to allow for complete martensite transformation. An austenitic nitrogen strengthened stainless steel.

15 5 ph is also referred to as xm 12 in some specifications. 15 5 stainless steel can be solution heat treated at approximately 1 900 f 1 038 c.
