Stainless Steel Alloy 15-5Ph

  • Stainless Steel Alloy 15-5Ph
  • General Characteristics

    15-5Ph is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless-steel considered of being a compositional modification of 17-4 with minimal delta ferrite. A wide range of mechanical properties is available via simple aging within a 900-1150°F (482-621°C) temperature range. Vacuum arc re-melting provides low gas content, superior cleanliness and optimum transverse properties.

    Typical applications include aircraft and missile structural components, gears, valves, fasteners, jet engine and nuclear reactor parts. It is favored over 17-4 when transverse properties are of concern.
