Nitronic50 is a nitrogen-containing austenitic stainless steel, whose chemical composition mainly includes chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo) and nitrogen (N). The precise composition of these elements gives the Nitronic50 its unique properties. Chromium provides corrosion resistance, nickel enhances austenitic structure and improves corrosion resistance, molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting and chloride stress corrosion cracking, while the addition of nitrogen significantly increases the strength and hardness of the material.
