Sandvik 253 MA (Billets)

Datasheet updated 2012-08-02 17:37:05 (supersedes all previous editions)

Sandvik 253 MA* is an austenitic chromium-nickel steel alloyed with nitrogen and rare earth metals. The grade is characterized by:

  • 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)

Standards

  • ASTM F45
  • UNS S30815
  • EN number 1.4835

Product standards

Suitable for the production of flanges etc. according to ASTM A182 grade F45.

Certificates

Status according to EN 10 204 3.1
