X15CrNiSi20-12
1.4828Heat-resistant austenitic stainless steel with high silicon content (1.5–2.5%) for exceptional scaling resistance up to 1000°C. The silicon creates a protective SiO₂ layer supplementing the chromium oxide barrier. Excellent resistance to carburization and sulfidation. Used for furnace parts, burner nozzles, kiln furniture, hardening boxes, annealing baskets, and high-temperature industrial process components. Equivalent to AISI 309.
