NITRONIC 50 -Weldability

NITRONIC 50 Stainless Steel gives a combination of corrosion resistance and strength not found in any other commercial material available in its price range. This austenitic stainless steel has corrosion resistance greater than that provided by Types 316 and 316L, plus approximately doubles the yield strength at room temperature. Likewise, NITRONIC 50 Stainless Steel has good mechanical properties at both high and sub-zero temperatures. Furthermore, unlike various austenitic stainless steels, NITRONIC 50 does not become magnetic when cold worked.

Applications

• Superior corrosion resistance
• Almost double the yield strength
• Exceptionally low magnetic permeability
• Outstanding cryogenic properties
• Outstanding corrosion resistance gives Armco's NITRONIC 50 Stainless Steel the leading edge for applications where Types 316. 316L, 317 and 317L are only marginal. It's an effective alloy for the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, nuclear fuel recycling, pulp and paper, textile, food processing and marine industries.
• Components using the combination of excellent corrosion resistance and high strength currently include pumps, valves and fittings, fasteners, cables, chains, screens and wire cloth, marine hardware, boat and pump shafting, heat exchanger parts, springs and photographic equipment.
• Fastener - High strength, and higher strength fasteners can improve the durability of you equipment
• Marine hardware - Mastings, tie downs
• Marine and Pump shafts - better corrosion than types 304 and 316, with double the yield strength.
• Valves and fittings - better corrosion than types 304 and 316, with double the yield strength.
• Down hole rigging - better corrosion than types 304, 316 and 17-4, with double the yield strength in annealed condition.
• Reduced cross sections - better corrosion than types 304, 316 and 17-4
