Therma range for high service temperatures

Our Therma range is especially suitable for applications with high service temperatures. Ferritic stainless steels have resistance to sulfur-containing hot gases and lower thermal expansion. Austenitic stainless steels have resistance to carburizing and nitriding/low oxygen hot gas and higher creep strength.

The Therma 253 MA offers an austenitic stainless steel with excellent oxidation and creep resistance in cyclic conditions that is best employed in high temperatures. Therma 310S/4845 presents an austenitic product with excellent oxidation resistance in mildly cyclic conditions.
