Stainless Steel 15-5
This type of martensitic stainless steel possesses high strength, hardness, and an excellent degree of corrosion resistance. With simple low-temperature heat treatment, the alloy becomes hardened, making it simple to fabricate components.
Where can it be used?
🚀 Aerospace: like in the hinge of an aircraft door or within the landing gear and control surface actuators.
🩺 Medical engineering: tooling for high precision engineering for modern medical devices.
⚙️ Industrial and power generation: heavy-load and high-pressure environments for robust, reliable components.
🥘 Food processing and petrochemical: ideal quality for harsh operating conditions.
