Specialty Stainless Steels

N-60

N-60, commonly known as Nitronic 60, is an austenitic stainless designed specifically for anti-galling and wear resistance while retaining corrosion performance. It is often chosen for valve, fastener, and sliding-contact components that seize with conventional stainless steels. EQI supplies N-60 for wear-critical stainless applications.

  • UNS S21800
  • Galling-resistant austenitic stainless
