PH stainless steel 15-5PH 丨 XM-12
Stainless steel 15-5PH, a martensitic precipitation-hardening alloy with around 15% Chromium and 5% Nickel, boasts exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Its strength can be augmented through a single low-temperature heat treatment. Compared to 17-4 PH, it exhibits superior transverse toughness, ductility, mechanical properties in larger cross-sections, and forgeability. It’s easily weldable and machinable in various Thermal Conditions.
