Nitronic®40 Alloy Description
Nitronic®40 is a versatile austenitic stainless steel that combines high yield strength with good corrosion resistance. Essentially non-magnetic at sun-zero temperatures or after severe cold working.
Applications
Screening applications requiring high strength and while remaining relatively non-magnetic
Aircraft engine components
Chemical process equipment
Pollution control equipment, ducting, and bellows.

Nitronic® 40 can be cold rolled to achieve the temper properties required by specific customers and/or manufacturing requirements. Contact Ulbrich Wire for details.
Additional Properties
Corrosion Resistance
Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.
Standard Wire Finishes
Extra Clean: Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
Forms
Continuous Coils
Cut to lengths
Precision cutting
Heat Treatment
Nitronic® 40 is non hardenable by heat treatment.
