Nitronic® 60 Stainless Steel is best known for its fretting, wear and galling resistance in the annealed condition by the addition of silicon and manganese. Chromium and Nickel additions give it comparable corrosion to 304 and 316 stainless steels, while having approximately twice the yield strength. Additionally, this grade provides excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and low-temperature impact resistance.
Of the 400 series of stainless steels, 400C has the highest carbon content and moderate corrosion resistance and can heat-treat to the highest harness of RC 60. (In contrast, 416 is normally heat treated to RC 26/32)
Type 316, also known as marine grade or surgical stainless steel, is particularly suitable for applications involving severe corrosive conditions, particularly pitting. Stainless 316/316L maintains strength, durability and workability and is ideal for lasting structural support in corrosive environments with harsh chemicals like salt water, acidic chemicals.
303 Stainless machines well and cuts clean and maintains it resistance to corrosion in temperatures up to 1500 degrees F. Good applications include repeat machining, fittings and fasteners.
