Nitronic 60 is a high Silicon, high Manganese, Nitrogen strengthened austenitic stainless alloy. Nitronic 60 is an all purpose metal that was originally designed as a temperature alloy and therefore performs well at high temperature around 1800ºF. The additions of silicon and manganese assist to inhibit wear, galling and fretting even in the annealed condition. Through cold working Nitronic 60, it is possible to attain higher strengths, however it does not enhance the anti-galling properties. Nitronic 60 is used in the Aerospace , Food and Drug, Oil Field, Petrochemical, Surgical and Chemical Processing Industries.
Typical Mechanical Properties
| Alloy | Condition | Ultimate Tensile Strength (ksi) | Yield Strength (0.2%) ksi | Elongation in 4D (%) | Reduction of Area % | Hardness HB |
| Nitronic 60 | Solution Treated (AMS 5848) <0.5" | 105 | 55 | 35 | 55 | 170-255 |
| Nitronic 60 | Solution Treated (AMS 5848) >0.5" | 95 | 50 | 35 | 55 | 170-255 |
Nitronic 60 is also available strain-hardened for increased strength and hardness. Different levels of strength can be achieved as in the following table:
| Alloy | Strength Level | Diameter Range | Ultimate Tensile Strength ksi (min) | Yield Strength ksi (min) | Elongation (min) | Reduction of Area (min) |
| Nitronic 60 HS | 1 | 0.125" - 4.00" | 110 | 90 | 35 | 55 |
| Nitronic 60 HS | 2 | 0.125" - 4.00" | 135 | 105 | 20 | 50 |
| Nitronic 60 HS | 3 | 0.125" - 3.50" | 160 | 130 | 15 | 45 |
| Nitronic 60 HS | 4 | 0.062" - 2.00" | 180 | 145 | 12 | 45 |
| Nitronic 60 HS | 5 | 0.062" - 1.50" | 200 | 180 | 10 | 45 |
