Nitronic 60 Stainless Steel Supplier

When sourcing specialty stainless steel for demanding industries like aerospace, marine, chemical processing, oil & gas, and automotive, choosing the right material supplier is critical. Many manufacturers struggle with alloys that suffer from galling, wear, or inconsistent performance in high-stress environments. Ram Alloys solves these challenges by providing Nitronic 60 round bar stainless steel and related products that deliver superior resistance, strength, and reliability.

As a trusted Nitronic 60 round bar stainless steel supplier, we combine deep expertise with responsive service, ensuring customers receive high-quality stock that meets their toughest application requirements.

About Nitronic 60 Stainless Steel (UNS S21800)

Ram Alloys offers Nitronic 60 stainless steel stock in a variety of shapes, including round bars, square bars, hex bars, and mill flats. Nitronic 60, classified as UNS S21800, is an austenitic stainless steel designed for exceptional resistance to galling and wear. These versatile characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of industrial, machining, and metalworking applications.

The Condition-A variation of stainless steel grade S21800 is processed to increase tensile and yield strength, making it ideal for high-stress environments where added stability is required. For many businesses, the primary appeal of UNS S21800 is its strong performance and anti-galling properties, offered at a reduced cost compared to higher-priced nickel and cobalt-based alloys.

Performance Characteristics and Benefits

Key performance characteristics of stainless steel alloy S21800 include:

• Elite galling resistance, effective at room temperature and in high-heat conditions up to 1800°F.
• Excellent resistance to cavitation erosion.
• Strong mechanical properties, making it suitable for both general purpose and demanding applications.

Common Industrial Applications

Because Nitronic 60 is highly resistant to galling and erosion, it is widely used across industries that demand durability and efficiency. This high-temperature alloy, with its excellent yield strength, is ideal for:

• Automotive valves
• Pins and bushings
• Bearings
• Pump shafts
• Fastening systems

Industries such as aerospace, marine, oil and gas, automotive, and chemical processing rely on Ram Alloys as their go-to UNS S21800 bar supplier for consistent quality and responsive service.

Workability, Machinability, and Weldability

Nitronic 60 stainless steel is engineered for performance, but working with it requires careful consideration of its strength and unique properties. Understanding its behavior during machining, welding, and forming helps manufacturers achieve consistent, high-quality results.

• Workability: This alloy is workable, but its higher strength requires more power and torque compared to other grades.
• Machinability: For optimal machining results, coated carbide tools are strongly recommended.
• Weldability: Highly weldable using standard fusion techniques.
• Magnetic Permeability: Remains low, even after prolonged exposure to cryogenic temperatures or cold-working processes.
