253MA Austenitic Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Thin Sheet
A high-performance heat-resistant stainless steel with exceptional oxidation resistance and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures (up to 1100°C), optimized for cold-rolling precision.
- Enhanced High-Temperature Stability:Rare earth elements (Ce) and nitrogen (N) alloying extend service life under cyclic heating conditions.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance:Chromium-silicon-aluminum oxide layer resists scaling in sulfur-rich environments.
- Cold-Rolling Precision:Thickness tolerance ±0.02mm, surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.5μm (mirror finish available).
- Mechanical Properties:Typical yield strength 450MPa, elongation 40% (annealed state).
