Nitronic 50, also known as UNS S20910 or ASTM XM-19, is a Nitrogen-strengthened austenitic alloy that provides high strength as well as high corrosion resistance. Nitronic 50 has better corrosion resistance compared to 316 Stainless with twice the yield strength.

Physical properties can be enhanced by cold working only, as this alloy cannot be tempered. It should remain non-magnetic after cold working.

Applications: Nitronic 50 has an excellent combination of strength and corrosion resistance. Its uses include, Valves, valve shafts, pumps and pumping equipment, marine, off shore rigging, heat exchanger, pulp and paper, marine shafting.

The following table is for reference only, many factors can affect the corrosive resistance, a corrosion test for each application should be applied.

Annealing:

Heat to 1950/2050 F (1066/1121c) and col rapidly. Brinell hardness approximately 150.

Hardening:

Cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Cold working this alloy increases its strength and hardness, although best corrosion resistance is in the annealed condition.

Machinability:

When machining Nitronic 50 its chip characteristics will be tough and stringy, when machining the use of chip curlers and breakers should be considered, along with sulfurized cutting fluids. Check out our machining options for you project.

Specifications:

AMS 5764 ASTM A182 grade (XM-19), ASTM A276 grade, (XM-19), ASTM A479 grade (XM-19), ASME SA479 EN10204 DIN3.1B
