Product Overview
Introduction To 253 MA / UNS S30815 / EN 1.4835
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, exporter, and stockist of 253 MA (UNS S30815 / EN 1.4835) – a high-temperature austenitic stainless steel designed for excellent oxidation resistance, high creep strength, and good structural stability. We offer a broad range of 253 MA products including Pipes & Tubes, Fittings, Flanges, Fasteners, Sheets & Plates, Bars, Wire Mesh, and Custom Components.
253 MA Originally developed by Outokumpu, 253 MA combines moderate nickel content with rare earth and alkali metal additions, delivering superior strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures (up to 1150°C / 2100°F). It is ideal for applications involving high thermal stresses, cyclic heating, and corrosive industrial atmospheres.
