Nitronic 60
Nitronic 60
Apar Alloys offers Nitronic 60, a premium austenitic stainless steel specifically engineered for exceptional wear resistance, galling resistance, and high mechanical strength. Unlike conventional stainless steels, Nitronic 60 delivers outstanding anti-friction performance, making it ideal for applications involving metal-to-metal contact and high-stress sliding conditions. Its unique silicon and manganese-enhanced composition significantly reduces galling, even when lubrication is limited or absent.
Nitronic 60 also offers excellent corrosion resistance, comparable to 316 stainless steel, while providing far superior wear and erosion resistance in demanding environments. Apar Alloys is a trusted Supplier and Stockist of certified Nitronic 60 materials, ensuring consistent quality, durability, and reliable performance for industrial applications. With excellent strength retention across temperature extremes and superior oxidation resistance, Nitronic 60 is widely used in petrochemical, marine, mechanical, and power-generation sectors.
