NITRONIC 60 (S21800) FEATURES

Specific performance characteristics of the Nitronic 60 (S21800) stainless steel alloy include:

Excellent wear resistance, especially at room temperature, but at high temperature conditions up to 980 ° C

Outstanding resistance to cavitation erosion

Good strength properties are a good choice for generalized and multipurpose applications

Additional considerations for the Nitronic 60 (S21800) stainless steel grade include:

 

NITRONIC 60 MACHINABILITY:

Nitronic 60 (S21800) can be processed, but due to its higher strength, it requires more power and torque than many comparable qualities.

If you want to process this alloy, the use of coated carbide tools is strongly recommended.

 

NITRONIC 60 WELDABILITY

Nitronic 60 (S21800) stainless steel can be welded using standard fusion techniques.

Nitronic 60 Magnetic permeability:

Nitronic 60 (S21800) Cryogenic temperatures and cold processing processes remain low even when exposed to prolonged exposure.
