Stainless Steel 15-5PH Pipe Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter in India
Mcneil Instruments is a leading exporter and stockist of Stainless Steel 15-5PH Pipe Fittings in India, offering fittings designed for high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical performance. 15-5PH is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that provides better toughness and transverse properties than 17-4PH.
These fittings are ideal for structural and high-pressure applications in aerospace, nuclear, and petrochemical industries. 15-5PH Pipe Fittings exhibit good corrosion resistance and can be hardened by low-temperature heat treatment to suit critical operational conditions.
Stainless Steel 15-5PH pipe fittings are precipitation-hardening stainless steel components designed for applications that demand high strength, toughness, and dimensional stability with reliable corrosion resistance. Developed as an improved version of 17-4PH, 15-5PH offers better transverse toughness and more consistent mechanical properties, especially in thicker sections.
What this really means is stronger, more predictable performance in precision and pressure-critical piping systems.

Why Stainless Steel 15-5PH Pipe Fittings Are Preferred
Here’s the thing: 15-5PH delivers excellent strength through heat treatment while offering better toughness and uniformity than many martensitic grades. It’s widely chosen when components must hold tight tolerances under load without distortion.
Its balance of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance makes it ideal for engineered systems where performance consistency matters more than extreme chemical resistance.
Key Features and Benefits
- Precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel
• High yield and tensile strength
• Improved toughness compared to 17-4PH
