Nitronic 60 is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel with significant silicon and manganese additions (Si 3.5-4.5%, Mn 7-9%) specifically formulated to provide exceptional resistance to galling, fretting, and wear—even in the annealed condition . It offers approximately twice the yield strength of 304 and 316 stainless steels, corrosion resistance between 304 and 316 with superior chloride pitting resistance, and oxidation resistance up to 980°C (1800°F) . The alloy remains fully non-magnetic even after severe cold work .
1. Product Specifications & Physical Data
ZYTC Alloy supplies Nitronic 60 in comprehensive mill forms for aerospace, oil & gas, and industrial applications requiring verified galling resistance and mechanical properties.
Available Forms: Sheet, plate, strip, bar (round, square), wire, welding wire, forgings, rings, and extrusions.
Heat Treatment: Solution anneal at 1066°C (1950°F) followed by water quenching; cannot be hardened by heat treatment—strength increased only through cold working .
Hot Working: Heat to 1093-1117°C (2000-2045°F); avoid working below 816°C .
Cold Working: High work-hardening rate; can be cold rolled, drawn, and formed while maintaining fully austenitic structure .
Machining: More difficult than 304 (approximately 50% machinability rating); requires rigid setups, positive feeds, slow speeds, ample coolant, and sharp carbide tools .
Welding: Excellent weldability using TIG, MIG, and SMAW methods; welded joints maintain galling resistance comparable to base metal .
Material Comparison:
vs. 304/316 Stainless: Twice the yield strength; significantly better galling and wear resistance; comparable corrosion with superior chloride pitting .
vs. Nitronic 30/40: Higher silicon (3.5-4.5%) provides superior galling resistance; selected specifically for metal-to-metal wear applications.
vs. 17-4 PH: Galling resistance in annealed condition without heat treatment; better high-temperature oxidation resistance .
vs. Cobalt Alloys (Stellite): Cost-effective alternative with similar galling resistance in applications below 980°C .
3. Applications
Valve Components: Stems, seats, trim for oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing
Drive Systems: Pins, bushings, wear rails, roller bearings in chain-drive systems
Aerospace: Aircraft components requiring wear resistance at elevated temperatures
Food & Pharmaceutical: Sanitary equipment requiring galling resistance and cleanability
Automotive: Valves capable of withstanding gas temperatures up to 815°C (1500°F)
