15-5ph
Stainless Steel Bar Benefits
Forgings made from 15-5 PH steel are available with the fastest
lead times in the industry. We can manufacture custom forgings up to 4,000
pounds, from 2.5″ to 24″ in diameter or thickness, and up to 12′ in length,
based on your specifications. A forging is ideal for long-run or short-run
production, as well as prototyping purposes.

Steel 15-5 PH Properties
The 15-5 PH stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening
steel which offers both high strength as well as high hardness. The corrosion
resistance of this steel is greater than that of straight chromium grades, such
as 410, and it is comparable to that of chromium-nickel steels.
The 15-5 PH stainless steel is capable of excellent transverse notch
toughness and ductility as well as very good uniformity of properties. At high
temperatures (up to 1,100°F/593°C), it exhibits exceptional resistance to
oxidation. Chemically balanced, this material has an almost completely
ferrite-free microstructure, which makes it suitable for forming into crucibles
and forgings due to its high degree of workability.
Characterization
Precipitation-hardening steels are classified into one of three groups
based on their final microstructures after heat treatment, which are determined
by the precipitation-hardening process. There are three kinds of stainless
steel, or martensitic (for example, 17-4 PH), semi-austenitic (for example,
17-7 PH), and austenitic (for example, A-286).
Martensitic Alloys
Martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steels have a
predominantly austenitic structure after annealing at temperatures that range
from around 1040 to 1065 °C, which corresponds to a high annealing temperature.
As soon as they are cooled to room temperature, they undergo a transformation
that causes austenite to be transformed into martensite upon cooling.
Semi-austenitic Alloys
A semi-austenitic precipitation hardening steel with an annealed surface
is not as hard as a martensitic precipitation hardening steel, and it can be
cold worked. At room temperature, semi-austenitic steels retain their
austenitic structure, but when extremely low temperatures are reached, they
will form martensite, which is a very hard material.
Austenitic Alloys
The austenitic precipitation hardening steels retain their austenitic
structure even after they have been annealed and hardened through ageing. A
precipitation hardening phase will become soluble at the annealing temperature
of 1095 to 1200°C, but not below 1095°C. The solution remains in solution even
when it is rapidly cooled. When reheated to 650°C to 760°C, precipitation
occurs as a result of the heating. The material becomes harder and stronger as
a result of this process. The hardness of these steels remains lower than that
of martensitic or semi-austenitic precipitation hardening steels. There is no magnetic
property to austenitic alloys.
Strength
A precipitation-hardening stainless steel has yield strengths that range
from 515 MPa to 1415 MPa. The tensile strength of this material ranges from 860
MPa to 1520 MPa. The elongation ranges from 1 to 25%. A cold working process
can be used before ageing in order to facilitate even greater strengths.
