15-15HS Max is an austenitic, nitrogen-strengthened stainless steel with a low carbon content that provides improved resistance to intergranular stress-corrosion cracking. In addition, nickel, chromium, nitrogen, manganese and molybdenum are controlled to enhance the resistance to transgranular attack stress-corrosion cracking and pitting. Can be considered for applications requiring high strength 140 ksi (966 MPa) minimum yield strength.
