Stainless Steel

* 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: Whenwelding
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."
