Nitronic 60
Nitronic 60 is an all-purpose stainless steel alloy, ideal for parts that require wear and gall resistance at a lower cost. It has a slightly lower corrosion resistance than some other stainless steel alloys, but has much higher stress cracking, chloride pitting, seawater, and gall resistances. Nitronic 60 has a relatively low hardness compared to other nickel alloys, but has a much higher heat resistance due to a thin, adherent oxide film.
Nitronic 60 has a machining cost factor of 9.0 when compared to steel 12L14. It can be readily welded. Nitronic 60 does not respond to heat treatment, but can be cold worked or case hardened to improve hardness.
