Specifications
Machinability of 15-5ph: 15-5ph may be machined in any of the attainable conditions, however machining in H1150M will yield best tool life.
Forming Stainless Steel 15-5: This alloy is capable of being only mildly formed. If forming is required, do so in the overaged condition for best results.
Welding Stainless Steel 15-5: When welding 15-6ph resistance methods or shielded fusion is recommended. Use AWS E/ER630 for filler metal.
Heat Treatment for Stainless Steel 15-5: CONDITION A--Soak at 1900 F(1038 C) for 1/2 hour, air cool. CONDITION H 900--Soak Condition A material at 900 F(482 C) for 1 hour, air cool. CONDITION H 925, H 1025, H1075, H 1100, H 1150--Soak Condition A material at desired temperature for 4 hours, air cool. CONDITION H 1150M--Soak Condition A material at 1400 F(760 C) for 2 hours, air cool. Heat to 1150F(621 C) for 4 hours, air cool.
Hot Working Stainless Steel 15-5: This alloy works well in all common hot working procedures. Material should be annealed after hot working for best heat treat response.
Cold Working 15-5PH: Cold work is restricted only by this alloys high initial yield strength. 15-5ph is not favored for cold working but can be moderately formed.
Annealing: 1900 F (1038 C) for 1 hour, rapid cooling. Also known as " solution treating."
Additional Specifications for 15-5PH:
Physical Data : Density (lb / cu. in.) 0.285
Specific Gravity 7.8
Specific Heat (Btu/lb/Deg F - [32-212 Deg F]) 0.11
Modulus of Elasticity Tension 29
