    Technological properties

    Property
    Application areas

    The excellent oxidation and carburization resistance of Sandvik 353 MA in constantly carburizing gas, makes it particularly suitable grade for high-temperature petrochemical furnaces. The high nitriding resistance is very beneficial for service in high temperature cracked ammonia gas. Typical applications are:


  • Ethylene furnace, radiant cracking tubes
  • EDC furnace tubes
  • Tubes in wast heat recovery systems in the metallurgical industry, e.g. recuperators
  • Tubes in heat treatment furnaces, e.g. muffle tubes, radiant tubes, thermocouple protection tubes, burner components, furnace rollers
  • Recuperator tubes in chemical waste and sewage sludge incineration
  • *353 MA is a trademark owned by Outokumpu OY.

    Cold Forming

    Due to its higher strength compared with conventional stainless steels, higher deformation forces are required for cold bending of Sandvik 353 MA.

    Corrosion properties

    Oxidation: Owing to the high silicon content and the addition of rare earth metals (REM), Sandvik 353 MA has very high resistance to oxidation. The REM addition also contributes to improved scale adhesion during temperature cycling. Figure 1, which shows the measured weight increase after 45 h cyclic oxidation at different temperatures, illustrates how Sandvik 353 MA compares with some other high temperature grades. Weight increase after longer exposure at 1150°C (2100°F) is shown in Figure 2. The weight increase shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 includes the weight of any spalled oxide.


    Carburizing and nitrogen pick-up: Corrosion attack by carburization or nitrogen pick-up usually follows a parabolic rate law: x2=kp * t+C, where x is the attack, expressed as penetration depth or weight increase, kp a rate constant, t exposure time and C a constant accounting for the initial attack (which follows a different rate law).

    Due to its ability to form a dense chromium oxide and its high nickel content, Sandvik 353 MA also has good resistance to carburization and nitrogen pick-up. Figure 3 shows the measured rate constants for carburization tests of various alloys at different temperatures. Cyclically carburizing-oxidizing conditions are often more detrimental, but, as Figure 4 shows, Sandvik 353 MA is able to resist these conditions better than other alloys. In nitrogen pick-up tests, Figure 5, Sandvik 353 MA showed similar resistance to Alloy 601.


    Sulphur attack: Alloys with high nickel content are generally sensitive to attack by sulphur at higher temperatures. However, under oxidizing conditions a protective oxide will be able to form, contributing to an improved resistance to sulphur attack. This is illustrated in Figure 6, which shows the rate constant for different alloys in different sulphidizing-oxidizing conditions. Again, the dense oxide formed on Sandvik 353 MA is shown to be advantageous.

    Heat Treatment

    Tubes are delivered in the heat treated condition. If another heat treatment is needed after further processing, the following is recommended:

    Stress relieving: 1000–1100°C (1830–2010°F), 10–15 minutes, cooling in air.

    Solution annealing: 1100–1200°C (2010–2190°F), 5–20 minutes, rapid cooling in air or water.

    Annealing after cold bending is not normally necessary, but this decision should be made taking account of the degree of bending and the service conditions.

    Other

    Forms of supply:

    Seamless tube and pipe in Sandvik 353 MA is supplied in dimensions up to 200 mm (7.9 in.) outside diameter in the solution-annealed and white pickled condition, or solution annealed by a bright-annealing process.


    Other forms of supply:

  • Bar steel
  • Welding

    The weldability of Sandvik 353 MA is good. Suitable methods of fusion welding are manual metal-arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and gas-shielded arc welding, with the TIG/GTAW method as first choice.


    In common with all fully austenitic stainless steels, Sandvik 353 MA has low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion. Welding plans should therefore be carefully selected in advance, so that distortions of the welded joint are minimized. If residual stresses are a concern, solution annealing can be performed after welding.


    For Sandvik 353 MA, heat-input of <1.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <100°C (210°F) are recommended.


    Recommended filler metals:
