15-7 PH (AMS5520)

15-7PH stainless steel sheet is precipitation hardened and is a semi-austenitic material grade.

---

15-7PH is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum-aluminium, semi-austenitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel used for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance and high strength. The alloy is weldable by conventional methods, although the material has less superior weldability when compared to other PH steels, such as 17-4PH, due to the amount of aluminium included in the alloying process. The product retains its excellent mechanical properties up to temperatures of 482°C (900°F). 15-7PH is easily formed in the annealed condition and offers minimum distortion after heat treatment.

Commercial Applications

The alloy finds typical use in manufacturing aerospace components and also in spring applications where high strength is a requirement. The product also offers high hardness characteristics, and corrosion resistance is superior when compared to standard hardenable stainless steels (410, 420 and 431).
