Is Nitronic 60 expensive?
With that in mind, it is important to design parts to fit as close as possible to existing stock sizes since Nitronic 60 is both an expensive material and generally more expensive to machine.
What is UNS S21800?
UNS S21800 is the Unified Numbering System designation for Nitronic 60(alloy 218), a grade of stainless steel used in many oil and gas industry applications.
How hard is Nitronic 60 stainless steel?
The yield strength of Nitronic 60 is nearly twice that of 304 and 316 stainless steels. Chloride pitting resistance is superior to that of type 316 stainless; Nitronic 60 provides excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and low temperature impact.
What is the Rockwell hardness of Nitronic 60?
NITRONIC 60 properties
| Wear Compatibility of NITRONIC 60 wear compared to Cobalt 6B and 17-4PH Against Various Alloys | ||
|---|---|---|
| Alloy | Hardness | NIT 60 (HRB 95) |
| 304 | HRB 99 | 6 |
| 316 | HRB 91 | 4.3 |
| 17-4 PH | HRC 31.5 | 4.9 |
What ASTM is stainless steel?
304 and 304L ASTM A240 stainless steel plate is a standard 18-8 material – meaning it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 304 Stainless steel plate is one of the most versatile stainless steel materials available. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics.
Does Nitronic 60 work harden?
Machinability. Nitronic 60 has a high work hardening rate, so although it’s machinability characteristics are similar to that of other austenitic stainless steels, the material will have to be held more rigidly and slower speeds used.
Is Nitronic 60 austenitic?
Nitronic 60 is truly an all purpose metal. This fully austenitic alloy was originally designed as a temperature alloy, and subsequently has good high temperature properties for temperatures around 1800ºF. The oxidation resistance of Nitronic 60 is similar to Type 309 S.S., and far superior to Type 304S.
Is Nitronic 60 magnetic?
Nitronic® 60 is characterized by low magnetic permeability even after severe cold working and at cryogenic temperatures.
Can Nitronic 60 be heat treated?
HEAT TREATMENT AK Steel’s ARMCO NITRONIC 60 Stainless Steel is not hardenable by heat treatment. Annealing at 1066 °C (1950 °F) followed by water quenching is recommended.
