Parts made of Nitronic 60
Parts made of Nitronic 60
(OP)
Hi, I work in a pump company, and a purchaser have ask us about a part of a pump (nuts) made of Nitronic-60 (I have never heard about it), we only work with steels, stainless steels, and foundries, also with bronze, brass so I will appreciate if anyone can tell me where I can find the best information about Nitronic-60, and how can I purchase it (very important), because I live in South America - Peru, also if someone can explain me what is galling, its mechanism of attack, when I can suffer from galling in the operation of a pump, what materials mostly affect and why Nitronic-60 is recommended in this case. I have read that is very common in nuts, and shafts. Thanks in advance





RE: Parts made of Nitronic 60
300 series stainless steels often times suffer from galling problems but not all materials do. Some stainless steels are anti-galling meaning they won't gall when two parts of the same material are rubbed together (such as wear ring & impeller or case ring & impeller ring & impeller) they won't gall.
So, the issue is...are the nuts & bolts on your pumps galling or not? If they are non-galling, then that would be the answer you give your customer. I never heard of the material you speak about.
