What are Stainless Steel Nitronic 60 Sheets & Plates?

Stainless Steel Nitronic 60 sheets and plates (also known as UNS S21800) are austenitic stainless steel flat products specifically designed to provide exceptional resistance to galling, wear, and metal-to-metal friction, while maintaining good corrosion resistance.

Nitronic 60 is widely used in applications where sliding wear, friction, and seizure resistance are critical.

Key Functions:

  • Resist galling and wear in moving components
  • Provide strength and durability
  • Maintain corrosion resistance
  • Enable reliable performance in high-friction environments

Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel Nitronic 60

Nitronic 60 has a unique composition that enhances wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Typical Composition:

  • Chromium (Cr): 16% – 18%
  • Nickel (Ni): 8% – 9% •
  • Manganese (Mn): 7% – 9%
  • Silicon (Si): 3.5% – 4.5% •
  • Nitrogen (N): 0.08% – 0.18%
  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.10%
  • Iron (Fe): Balance

Silicon and manganese contribute to improved galling resistance.
