Manufacturer or standards-body identification; product values do not apply to every form or condition.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
The S21800 alloy is a Nitronic wear/galling-resistant product; it is not EN 1.4362 duplex stainless steel.
- Designation in this reference
- Nitronic 60 / UNS S21800
- Forms covered by the sources
- Electralloy ingot, billet, bar, plate and wire product listings.
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Request the actual supplied condition and the relevant galling test/application conditions.
- Temperature and exposure
- No universal service-temperature limit or room-temperature property set is assigned. Use the cited product document and the purchase certificate.

Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.
Resolve these conditions next
- What product standard, edition and complete grade are on the material certificate?
- What product form, section size and delivery/heat-treatment condition will be machined?
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.
Sources and what they establish

Electralloy licensed Nitronic products
Producer listings for Nitronic 50 and 60 and product forms; these are separate alloys.
Electralloy licensed Nitronic products ↗Electralloy Nitronic 60 datasheet
UNS S21800 and product forms; galling/wear performance is test- and condition-dependent.
Electralloy Nitronic 60 datasheet ↗Source identity, a named product example and a supplied-batch certificate are different evidence. Cross-standard similarity does not approve substitution.
Corrections from the previous article
- Delete the incorrect EN 1.4362 equivalence. Do not convert a galling-resistant product claim into an unconditional load or wear guarantee.
- Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (95 HRB) and tensile-strength (655 MPa (95 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.
- Remove the unsupported cutting-speed table and machinability percentage; select tooling only after the actual material condition is known.
