XM-19 – HS/EHS is a nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel that can be supplied in the cold worked or warm worked condition (it is also known as Nitronic® 50 – a trademark owned by AK Steel Corporation). Although very small diameter bars of XM-19 (<2.25”) can be cold worked to achieve higher strength levels, larger section sizes can only achieve dramatically increased mechanical properties by deforming at raised temperatures. This results in a deformed and partly recrystallised micro structure that is ‘stress free’, achieves high strengths with good ductility and consistent properties through the bar (unlike cold worked material). The superior properties of XM-19 HS/EHS are available up to 9” diameter bars.
