George Metals, located in Houston, USA, is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 253MA Bars and Rods, crafted for outstanding performance in high-temperature and oxidizing settings. This 253MA is a heat-resistant austenitic stainless steel that’s enhanced with nitrogen and rare earth metals to boost its oxidation resistance, creep strength, and overall mechanical stability when the heat is on. Our 253MA bars and rods are produced in line with ASTM A276 and ASTM A479 standards, and come in a variety of sizes and finishes. They’re commonly found in furnace parts, power plants, petrochemical refineries, and heat treatment equipment, thanks to their durability and thermal efficiency.
The Stainless Steel 253MA Bars and Rods from George Metals are made up of 20–22% chromium, 10–12% nickel, 0.05–0.10% nitrogen, and 1.4–2.2% silicon, with small amounts of cerium added for better oxidation resistance. This unique blend gives it excellent oxidation resistance up to 1150°C, along with good creep strength and scaling resistance. The material boasts a tensile strength of about 600 MPa and a yield strength of 310 MPa, along with impressive thermal stability. Our bars and rods go through rigorous testing for chemical consistency, mechanical performance, and dimensional accuracy, making them perfect for high-temperature industrial applications.
