Stainless steel 15 – 5 PH, also known as XM-12 or UNS S15500, is a modification of 17-4 PH developed in the 1960s. It has a more refined microstructure obtained through the remelting process.
Alloy steels are steels with alloying elements other than iron and carbon. When various elements are added to these steels, they become stronger and harder than plain carbon steels. If the total amount of alloy additions accounts for less than 5%, the steel is regarded as a high alloy steel.
Alloy steels those that are added with alloying elements to achieve certain material properties. Alloying elements are added in lower quantities to increase hardenability or strength, and in larger quantities to achieve special properties like high temperature stability or corrosion resistance.
Nickel alloy 80A is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy strengthened by additions of carbon, aluminum and titanium. It has high tensile and creep-rupture properties at temperatures of up to 815ºC (1500ºF), and good corrosion and oxidation resistances.

Steel is a metal alloy chiefly consisting of iron in addition to small amounts of carbon based on the grade and quality of the steel. Alloy steel is a type of steel to which one or more elements besides carbon have been added to form a desired mechanical property.
Titanium alloys are metals containing a blend of titanium and other chemical elements. Grade 6Al 2Sn 4Zr 2Mo titanium alloy is a near alpha alloy. Near-alpha alloys contain a small amount of ductile beta-phase.
Titanium alloys are divided into three types, namely, alpha-phase, beta-phase, and alpha-beta-phase. Alpha-phase titanium alloys are known to be stronger and less ductile. Beta-phase titanium alloys are more ductile.
Tool steels are high quality steels developed with controlled chemical composition to form properties essential for working and shaping of other materials.
Tool steels are high-quality steels that have good hardness, abrasion resistance and good machinability. They are generally used in a heat-treated state. Tool steels are used for special applications such as injection molding, plastic molding, die casting, extrusion and forging.
