Nitralloy 135 and 135m Metal Composition and Properties

Nitralloy 135 and 135m are steel alloy metals explicitly designed for nitriding metal hardening. This heat-treating method increases surface hardness and wear resistance without causing distortion. Nitralloy 135 and 135m also hold up well in corrosive environments. They offer a strong core, a hard outer layer, and reliable performance under stress. After forging, the material is typically air-cooled to help develop the proper structure.

Key Characteristics of Nitralloy 135 and 135M

  • Designed for nitriding at 900–1100°F (480–595°C)
  • Can be austenitized at 1700–1750°F (925–955°C)
  • Yield Strength: 105,000 psi
  • Tensile Strength: 125,000 psi
  • Brinell Hardness: 300-400
  • Good resistance to wear and fatigue
  • Requires ½ hour per inch of thickness at austenitizing temp
  • Water quench recommended for sections over 1 inch thick
