What is the standard for UNS S30815?

UNS S30815 material is often specified for pressure vessels and high-temperature applications, such as ASTM A240 or ASME SA240 standards.

 

What material is uns S30815?

UNS S30815, commonly known as 253MA or Werkstoff Number 1.4835, is a lean-alloyed, heat-resistant austenitic stainless steel. It is engineered for high-strength and superior oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures (up to 1150°C/2100°F) by alloying with rare earth metals, silicon, and nitrogen. It is commonly used in furnace components and heat treatment applications.

 

What grade is uns S30815 equivalent to?

UNS S30815 is a high-temperature austenitic stainless steel, primarily equivalent to 253 MA® (or 253MA), EN 1.4835, and X9CrNiSiNCe21-11-2. It is widely used in high-temperature environments (up to 1150°C), such as furnace components, petrochemical tube hangers, and heat-resistant fasteners, due to its high creep strength and oxidation resistance.

ASTM A240 UNS S30815 stainless steel plate Applications

Heat Treatment Industry: Furnaces, furnace hoods, industrial furnace tubes and radiant tubes.

Energy and Chemical Industry: Waste heat recovery devices, boiler components, heat exchangers.

Environmental Protection Equipment: Waste incinerator components, exhaust gas treatment systems.

Paper and Metallurgy: Cyclone separators, conveyor belt components.

 

What are the high-temperature properties of UNS S30815 stainless steel plate?

UNS S30815 (also known as 253MA) is an austenitic stainless steel designed to provide exceptional high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1150°C (2100°F). Compared to 310 grade stainless steel, it exhibits superior high-temperature creep strength, achieved through microalloying with the addition of rare earth metals and nitrogen. Its key properties include excellent resistance to cyclic oxidation, carburization, and sulfidation.

 

What is the difference between UNS S30815 Stainless Steel and S31008?

UNS S30815 (commonly known as 253 MA) and S31008 (310S) are both austenitic stainless steels designed for high-temperature service, but they differ significantly in their chemical composition, high-temperature strength, and performance in specific corrosive atmospheres.

Comparison Table

Feature UNS S30815 (253 MA) S31008 (310S)
Nickel Content Lower (~11%) Higher (~20%)
Chromium Content ~21% ~25%
Key Additions Silicon, Nitrogen, Cerium High Cr/Ni base
High-Temp Strength Superior (higher creep strength) Lower than 253MA
Sulfidation Resistance Superior Moderate
Oxidation Limit ~1150°C (2100°F) ~1149°C (2100°F)
Cost Generally higher alloy cost Generally lower alloy cost

 

What is the difference between 253MA and 304?

The micro alloy addition of cerium as well as silicon gives RA 253 MA good oxidation resistance up to 2000°F. 304 and 316 stainless steels are only oxidation resistant to 1600°F. RA 253 MA is ASME section VIII, Div 1 approved for pressure vessels up to 1650°F, while 304 and 316 are only approved up to 1500°F.
