DESCRIPTION
Nitronic® 50 is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel with better corrosion resistance and higher strength than many other austenitic stainless steels. Nitronic® 50 is non-magnetic even when cold-worked or at sub-zero temperatures and provides good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in sea water.
