15 5 Stainless Steel

Heat treating 15 5 ph alloy stainless steel.

15 5 stainless steel.

15 5 ph stainless steel 15 5 ph stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening type stainless steel. 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. It also offers excellent transverse notch toughness ductility and very good uniformity of properties. 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.

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. 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 is an age hardening martensitic stainless steel. Offering outstanding strength 15 5 ph stainless steel is often used for gears and shafts.

15 5 uns s15500. High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees f. 15 5 ph is ideal for applications where workability hardness capability and high corrosion resistance in temperate conditions are required. It is best applied in situations requiring better corrosion resistance and transverse properties compared to other similar martensitic grades.

An austenitic nitrogen strengthened stainless steel. It should be allowed to cool to below 90 f 32 c to allow for complete martensite transformation. Stainless steel sheet plate 15 5 is normally used in natural gas petroleum oil aerospace food and beverage and industrial applications. 15 5 sheet plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.

15 5 is a variant of the older 17 4 chromium nickel copper precipitation hardening stainless steel. This alloy is an improved version of 17 4 that offers better toughness. 15 5 stainless steel can be solution heat treated at approximately 1 900 f 1 038 c. The 15 5 ph alloy was designed to have greater toughness than 17 4 ph.

15 5 ph is also referred to as xm 12 in some specifications. The mechanical properties in larger sections and forgeability are superior to that of. For technical drawings and 3 d models click on a part number. Both alloys exhibit high strength and moderate corrosion resistance.

Tempered 15 5 ph stainless steel can achieve brinell scale hardness of up to 420 and rockwell hardness of up to c40. It possesses all the advantages of 17 4 ph including single low temperature thermal treatment.
