We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
15/5 PH VAR is a martensitic, precipitation hardening stainless steel containing 4% copper.
It possesses all the advantages of 17/4 PH, including single low-temperature thermal treatment. It also offers excellent transverse notch toughness and ductility and very good uniformity of properties. The mechanical properties in larger sections and forgeability are superior to that of 17/4 PH. 15/5 PH VAR is produced by the consumable electrode, vacuum arc re-melted route which enhances ductility and toughness and gives an essentially ferrite-free microstructure. This alloy has a typical density of 7.8 kg/dm³ and magnetic permeability of 95.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock 15 5PH in flats, round bar, plate, sheet, hollow bar and square bar.
Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector. We believe this underlines our total commitment to quality and our ethos of being the complete service provider.
