Nitronic 60 parts are CNC processed differently from other Nitronic alloy parts because of the material's excellent resistance to wear (i.e. wear caused by local adhesion and subsequent tearing of material fragments when parts slide against each other). In addition to resistance to wear and tear, the Nitronic 60 has nearly twice the yield strength of more common stainless steels such as 316 or 18-8. Nitronic 60 also has far better corrosion resistance than most similar metals. These characteristics make it ideal for mechanical parts such as shafts, fasteners or gears that experience sliding contact and require high strength when subjected to corrosive operating environments.
