Nitriding Resistance

HAYNES® 230® alloy is one of the most nitriding resistant materials commercially available. Tests were performed in flowing ammonia at 1200°F (650°C) and 1800°F (980°C) for 168 hours. Nitrogen absorption was determined by chemical analysis of samples before and after exposure and knowledge of the exposed specimen area.
