Nitronic 32
Material Data Sheet
Nitronic 32 alloy is a nitrogen strengthened, low nickel austenitic stainless steel that is characterized by excellent fabricability and corrosion resistance, and high strength at both ambient and elevated temperatures. In addition, Nitronic 32 offers good ductility even at high strengths. Nitronic 32 serves as an ideal material for manufacturing cold-headed parts that require high mechanical properties.
