AUSTENITIC

Nitronic 50 Stainless Steel

Nitronic 50 is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel. It is considered for shafts, pumps and connections combining corrosion requirements with higher yield strength and low magnetic permeability. Unlike PH steels, it does not obtain its strength through ageing to an H condition.

Annealed and high-strength delivery

Commercial labels such as HS or SHS generally describe conditions achieved by cold or warm deformation. They are not PH ageing conditions such as H900. Welding and subsequent thermal processing can change the strength gained through deformation; specify size range and mechanical requirements alongside the producer’s condition name.

It does not perform the same role as Nitronic 60

Nitronic 50 addresses strength and corrosion requirements within an austenitic structure. When galling resistance in sliding or threaded contacts is the priority, Nitronic 60 warrants separate consideration. A similar pitting-resistance indicator also does not establish equivalent stress-corrosion behaviour between alloys.

Make the magnetic requirement measurable

Where low magnetic permeability is required, define measurement conditions and whether they apply to stock or the completed component. Welded assemblies need separate assessment. S20910 and the related European designation 1.3964 should not be treated as automatically identical chemistry; select the governing specification, such as AMS 5764 for the bar family.

Typical application areas

Pump shafts, marine connections, components requiring low magnetic permeability.
