Introduction

Stainless Steel 15-5PH pipe fittings are a premium-grade solution for industries requiring a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. As a precipitation-hardening stainless steel, 15-5PH offers a unique balance of properties that make it ideal for aerospace, marine, petrochemical, and nuclear applications.

At Mcneil Instruments, we are proud to be a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of 15-5PH stainless steel pipe fittings in India, offering unmatched quality, technical compliance, and global delivery across sectors.

What is 15-5PH Stainless Steel?

15-5PH (UNS S15500) is a martensitic, precipitation-hardening stainless steel. It is derived from the more common 17-4PH stainless steel, but with improved toughness, weldability, and superior transverse properties. Thanks to its low carbon content and balanced chemistry, 15-5PH delivers:

  • Excellent corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments.
  • High strength with exceptional mechanical properties up to 600°F (316°C).
  • Good machinability and weldability, even in the hardened condition.
  • Low distortion during heat treatment, making it ideal for precision fittings.

Why Choose 15-5PH Over 17-4PH?

While both 15-5PH and 17-4PH are PH stainless steels, 15-5PH is preferred where:

  • Higher transverse toughness is critical.
  • Better weldability and formability is required.
  • Superior metallurgical consistency and minimized delta ferrite are needed.
