Harsh Metalloys is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 253 MA Fasteners, based in Mumbai, India. This particular grade, 253 MA (UNS S30815), is a high-temperature austenitic stainless steel known for its outstanding oxidation resistance and strength at elevated temperatures, reaching up to 1150°C. These fasteners are designed to withstand extreme conditions, offering a perfect blend of heat resistance, toughness, and durability. Harsh Metalloys provides a variety of 253 MA fasteners—including bolts, nuts, washers, studs, and screws—in different sizes and threading options, all adhering to ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards. They are particularly well-suited for use in furnaces, heat treatment processes, petrochemical plants, and power generation systems.
Stainless Steel 253 MA Fasteners are mainly made up of 20–22% chromium and 10–12% nickel, with small amounts of cerium (~0.05%) and nitrogen (~0.15%) added to boost their high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. These fasteners boast a tensile strength of about 600 MPa, a yield strength of 310 MPa, and an elongation of 40%, along with impressive creep resistance. The alloy develops a stable oxide layer at high temperatures, ensuring long-lasting durability. 253 MA fasteners maintain their mechanical integrity even under thermal cycling and oxidizing conditions, making them an excellent choice for high-temperature structural applications.
