INTRODUCTION TO 15-5 PH STAINLESS STEEL / UNS S15500 / ASTM A564

Hastelloy C276

MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a trusted supplier, exporter, importer, and stockist of high-quality 15-5 PH Stainless Steel products, including Pipes & Tubes, Pipe Fittings, Flanges, Fasteners, Sheets & Plates, Coils, Wires, Round Bars, Flat Bars, Angles, Channels, Welding Rods, Wire Mesh, and Custom Fabricated Components.

15-5 PH (Precipitation Hardening) Stainless Steel, designated as UNS S15500, is a martensitic chromium–nickel–copper stainless steel designed for high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior toughness. Developed as an improvement over 17-4 PH, this alloy offers enhanced transverse toughness and more uniform mechanical properties than traditional precipitation-hardening grades.

The alloy can be hardened through a simple low-temperature aging process without distortion or scaling, allowing engineers to achieve the required strength levels efficiently. With its balance of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, 15-5 PH Stainless Steel remains a versatile solution for both structural and critical component applications.
