E Steel Sdn Bhd - A Leading Supplier of Stainless Steel 253MA

253MA (or known as UNS S30815)

253MA is a grade combining excellent service properties at high temperatures with ease of fabrication. It resists oxidation at temperatures up to 1150°C and can provide superior service to Grade 310 in carbon, nitrogen and sulphur containing atmospheres. 253MA® is a trademark owned by Outokumpu Stainless AB. The standard grade designation covering this grade is UNS S30815. Other mills produce grades compliant with UNS S30815, including Sirius S15®.253MA contains a fairly low nickel content, which gives it some advantage in reducing sulphide atmospheres when compared to high nickel alloys and Grade 310. The inclusion of high chromium, silicon, nitrogen and cerium contents gives the steel good oxide stability, high elevated temperature (creep) strength and excellent resistance to sigma phase precipitation. The austenitic structure gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.

Corrosion Resistance :

Although not designed for aqueous corrosion resistance, the high chromium and nitrogen contents give the grade a pitting resistance approximating that of 316. 253MA does, however, have a high carbon content so is highly susceptible to sensitisation; this is likely to reduce aqueous corrosion resistance after high temperature service or fabrication. Consult Atlas Technical Assistance for specific environmental recommendations.

Heat Resistance :

Oxidation – excellent resistance to air, at temperatures up to 1100°C. At high temperatures, the steel quickly forms a thin, highly adherent and elastic oxide. This oxide gives good protection even under cyclic conditions, much better than is the case for Grade 310. Best resistance is under noncycling conditions. Carburisation – Under oxidising conditions this grade can perform well, but alloys with higher nickel content are preferred if the atmosphere is reducing. Sulphidation – good resistance to sulphur bearing gases in an oxidising atmosphere, even if only traces of oxygen are present. Reducing gases prevent the protective oxide forming. 253MA has high strength at elevated temperatures so is often used for structural and pressure-containing applications at temperatures above about 500°C and up to about 900°C. 253MA will become sensitised in the temperature range of 425-860°C; this is not a problem for high-temperature applications but will result in reduced aqueous corrosion resistance.
