Overview
We supply 253MA as UNS S30815 or EN 1.4835. Send the product standard, form, dimensions, service conditions and inspection scope for a quote.

Standards & Designations
- 253MA / UNS S30815
- EN 1.4835 X7CrNiSiNCe21-11
State the selected designation, complete product standard, edition and purchaser specification in the RFQ and purchase description. Similar grade names are not automatically interchangeable.
Chemical Composition
253MA uses nitrogen and rare-earth alloying for creep and cyclic-oxidation performance. It is a useful comparison for cyclic furnace tubes and supports, but is not a universal choice for carburizing gas or cracked-ammonia muffles.

Mechanical Properties
For loaded furnace parts, creep and exposure time matter alongside room-temperature strength. A lower-carbon S grade is not automatically interchangeable with the corresponding non-S grade for a load-bearing design.

High-Temperature Characteristics
Air oxidation, cycling, sulfur-bearing gases and carburization are separate selection questions. Check the actual atmosphere before using a temperature screening value.

Available Dimensions
We quote dimensions and tolerances for your selected form and quantity; there is no single stock-size range covering every grade and form.
Processing & Welding
Share the drawing, delivery condition, forming method, joint design, filler requirements, WPS/PQR, heat input, cleaning or passivation and NDT scope. Drawing geometry and the ordered standard help the fabricator prepare the process plan and qualified procedure.
Processing & WeldingIndustry Applications
Typical buying contexts include furnace liners, heat shields, supports and thermal-equipment parts. Select the form from the component drawing.

Inspection Options
- MTC identifying the heat, grade, ordered standard and reported test results.
- Dimensional, surface, traceability and marking records specified by the purchase order.
- NDT, PMI, third-party inspection or additional test reports only when ordered.
- EN 10204 3.1 wording only when the issued certificate explicitly carries that type.
