Abstract

Nitronic 60 (UNS S21800) is a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel. This steel provides exceptional wear and galling resistance as well as a high temperature corrosion resistance. Increasing strength of Nitronic 60 is obtained by cold deformation. A solution annealing is necessary to achieve a complete austenitic microstructure without the presence of precipitates in the matrix. This paper describes determination of the appropriate heat treatment to obtain austenitic microstructure with a minimum consumption of time and energy.
