AK Steel 15-5 PH® provides high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C), and good toughness in both base metal and welds. Short-time, low-temperature heat treatments minimize distortion and scaling. AK Steel 15-5 PH® is the ferrite-free version of AK Steel 17-4 PH® Stainless Steel. Both alloys are widely used in the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper and general metalworking industries. The material supplied from the mill is in Condition A. After fabrication eight standard heat treatments have been developed to provide a wide range of properties.Information provided by AK Steel |
