Using the New DMG Mori CTX 6 axis machine we made this housing complete out of 15-5 stainless steel. We are excited to bring this new technology to the forefront and explore faster and better ways to create better products and lower prices! This part was able to be made in a fraction of the time it took previously!
What is 15-5 stainless steel?
15-5 is a variant of the older 17-4 chromium-nickel-copper precipitation hardening stainless steel. Both alloys exhibit high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. High strength is maintained to approximately 600 degrees F. The 15-5 alloy was designed to have greater toughness than 17-4. This improved toughness is achieved by reduced delta ferrite content and control of inclusion size and shape.
Applications:
Aircraft components
High pressure corrosive fabricated parts such as valves
Shafts
Fasteners
Fittings and gears (as found at https://www.twmetals.com/15-5-ph-stainless-steel-bar.html)
