253MA stainless steel, also known as UNS S30815 and W.Nr. 1.4835, is an austenitic heat-resistant alloy designed for excellent oxidation resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures. With its high chromium, nitrogen, and rare earth content, 253MA performs exceptionally well in environments up to 1100°C (2012°F).
253MA is widely used in heat treatment furnaces, kilns, burner components, and petrochemical equipment. Its outstanding thermal stability and resistance to scaling and creep make it a preferred choice in industries like metallurgy, power generation, and industrial heating.
