What is 15-5 PH?

What is 15-5 PH?

15-5 PH stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel with approximately 15% Chromium and 5% Nickel. It has high strength, high hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance.

Is CRES stainless steel?

Benefits of Stainless Steel It is also called corrosion-resistant steel or CRES when the alloy type and grade are not detailed. Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present.

What type of metal is 15-5?

hardening stainless steel
15-5 is a variant of the older 17-4 chromium-nickel-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel. Both alloys exhibit high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees F. The 15-5 alloy was designed to have greater toughness than 17-4.

What is CRES made of?

What are 15-5ph plates used for?

Stainless Steel 15-5PH plates come in a variety of forms that are useful for several products including the circuit boards used in electronic devices and decorative laminates. (—Alloy 410 is notorious for being an ideal for the manufacturing of press plates.—)

What is 15-5ph stainless steel?

When 15-5 is precipitation hardened in a single low temp range from 900° – 1150° scaling and distortion are practically eliminated. That enables 15-5ph to be machine finished to close tolerances before heat treatment. 15-5 stainless steel is extremely resistant to a wide variety of corrosion.

What is the strength of 15-5ph?

15-5PH has high strength and good toughness in all directions as a base stainless steel and in welding applications. 15-5 stainless steel can be heat treated at low temperatures for a short time to minimize scaling and distortion.

Are SS 15-5phs recyclable?

They are also able to be recycled. The SS 15-5PH alloy is available in numerous specifications as determined by several governing bodies that determine the dictating coding, bodies such as AMS.
