Sandvik 253 MA (Plate and Sheet)
- High creep strength
- Very good resistance to isothermal and, above all, cyclic oxidation
- Very good resistance to combustion gases
- Good structural stability at high temperatures
- Good weldability
The grade can be used at temperatures up to about 1150°C (2100°F).
The high creep strength of Sandvik 253 MA, coupled with its excellent oxidation resistance and its good resistance to carburisation in constantly carburising gas, makes it a very suitable material for purposes for which 18/8 steels lack the necessary resistance to oxidation and carburisation. Stainless chromium steels have insufficient creep strength and structural stability. What is more, 253 MA can very well take the place of higher-alloyed materials such as 25Cr/20Ni steels and Alloy 800H, or even Alloy 600 in certain cases.
Sandvik 253 MA has come to be extensively used in the metallurgical industry and in the petrochemical and power industries.
