Nitrogen Strengthened
Outstanding Strength
Nitronic® is a generic term for a family of austenitic stainless steels where nitrogen is introduced homogenously to provide much greater strength.
Nitronic® alloys provide twice the yield strength compared to Type 304 and 316L stainless steel. The production process uniformly strengthens the alloy instead of nitriding, which only affects the surface.
Corrosion Resistance
Our Nitronic® bar stock enhances corrosion resistance, superior to 300 and 400 series stainless steels. Our premium stock range represents an excellent performance enhancement compared to traditional stainless steel alloys.
Applications
Typical applications using Nitronic® alloys include aerospace components, valves, bearings and medical implants.

Valve Stems
Nitronic® alloys have various applications, and valve stems represent one of the most popular beneficiaries.
Valve stems can be seen daily in cars, lorries and bicycle tyres. Once the self-contained valve is depressed, gas or air passes to a chamber or vessel (such as a car tyre). When released, no further air is transported.
Nitronic® alloys are popular for producing valve stems due to the alloy's high strength and corrosion resistance.
Stock Information
