253 MA®

An austenitic chromium-nickel-silicon grade, 253 MA® offers outstanding strength and unrivalled heat resistance.

253 MA® was developed over 30 years ago, when the need for a heat resistant stainless steel with high strength and good oxidation resistance was required in the industry.

About 253 MA®

Despite its lean nickel content, 253 MA® alloy offers an outstanding combination of creep strength and high resistance to oxidation, sulphidation and erosion/abrasion at extremely high temperatures. This makes the alloy more economical than most heat resistant alloys.

The high heat resistant properties of 253 MA® are obtained by the tight control of micro alloy additions. Whilst the benefit of creep rupture strength is down to the combination of nitrogen, carbon and cerium, its superior oxidation resistance is a result of the combination of cerium and silicon.
