Nitronic 40 per AMS 5595
AMS 5595 is the specification for Nitronic 40 stainless steel in sheet, strip, and plate forms, provided in the solution heat treated condition. This high-performance stainless steel, also known as 21-6-9, is a high-manganese, high-nitrogen austenitic alloy melted using AOD or AOD + ESR processes.
The material will perform well under an aggressive corrosive environment due to its excellent corrosion resistance, excellent strength both in the annealed/solution-treated condition, and also due to its superior toughness at cryogenic temperatures; thus, making it an ideal material for many/all critical aerospace, chemical and, environmental applications.
Applications of AMS 5595
AMS 5595 is widely used in demanding applications, including:
- Aircraft engine components requiring corrosion resistance and high strength
- Pollution control systems such as scrubbers and exhaust equipment
- Chemical processing plants exposed to oxidizing and corrosive environments
- Cryogenic systems where toughness at low temperatures is critical
What is Nitronic 40
Nitronic 40, as known as 21-6-9, is an austenitic stainless steel that has been designed to be an extremely strong alloy in the annealed condition, to have excellent resistance against oxidation at elevated temperatures, and to have superior toughness even at cryogenic temperatures. Products manufactured from this material are either melted using one of two processes: AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarburization) or AOD + ESR (Electroslag remelting).
