Nitronic 50® Stainless Steel is for the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, nuclear fuel recycling, pulp and paper, textile, food processing and marine industries. Components where the combination of excellent corrosion resistance and high strength are required including pumps, valves and fittings, fasteners, cables, chains, screens and wire cloth, marine hardware, boat and pump shafting, heat exchanger parts, springs and photographic equipment.

Nitronic 50® is an austenitic stainless steel that provides a combination of corrosion resistance and strength not found in any other commercial material available. It has corrosion resistance greater than that provided by Types 316 and 316L, plus approximately twice the yield strength at room temperature. In addition, Armco Nitronic 50® Stainless has very good mechanical properties at both elevated and sub-zero temperatures. And, unlike many austenitic stainless steels, the alloy does not become magnetic when cold worked.
