15 5 PH Stainless

15 5 PH Stainless Steel Supplier

15-5 PH steel is a high-strength, martensitic stainless steel that is free of ferrite. It is ideal for use in aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper, and general metalworking applications. With exceptional mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, it can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees and has strong toughness in both longitudinal and transverse directions.

Features of 15 5 PH

Chemical – 15 5 draws its strength from its mostly Iron content. Therefore, with 75% Iron, it withstands a lot of force while also being machineable at high temperatures. The 14.5% Chromium does wonders for corrosion resistance.

Machining – This steel is easily machinable. It’s best to form the alloy in overaged conditions before welding it with standard methods. Optimal treatment and annealing occurs at 1900 degrees, and cold-working improves strength. Whereas, nickel, Copper, Manganese, Silicon, and other metals comprise the majority of the steel’s chemical composition, enhancing chemical resistance and reinforcing the steel.

Common Uses and Applications – As stated previously, this material works optimally with the following trades:

• Aerospace
• Chemical
• Petrochemical
• Food Processing
• Paper
• General Metalworking

It works well under these conditions primarily due to its high strength and accessibility. While not being a very specialized steel, it does have the versatility of working well with everything except for marine or aquatic work.
