Applications

Alloy 310 and 310S stainless steel fittings, flanges and pipes are used in the environmental, chemical processing and refining industries. Some examples of equipment composed of 310 stainless steel include incinerators, furnaces, burners, kilns, annealing and carburizing boxes, combustion chambers, salt pots, thermo wells, gas turbines, retorts, flairs and equipment to handle sulfite liquors.

Cyclic conditions reduce its oxidation resistance, and a maximum operating temperature of 1900°F is generally recommended if cycling is involved.

Having a lower coefficient of expansion than most 300 stainless steels, 310S may be used in operations involving moderately severe thermal cycling, such as rapid air cooling. It is not usually recommended for liquid quenching. Although 310S has less resistance to absorption of carbon and nitrogen than the higher alloys such as 330 and 333, it is widely used in moderately carburizing atmospheres such as encountered in petro-chem plants.

Because of ts high chromium and medium nickel contents, 310S may be used in atmospheres containng moderate amounts of sulfur.

FAQ FAQ

What is 310S stainless steel grade?

310S grade is a steel comprising of low concentration of carbon. Stainless steel 310S alloy is made of 25% chromium and 20% nickel that make it widely resistant to oxidation and corrosion. The nominal carbon magnitude makes it less inclined to embrittlement and sensitization while in use.

What is the difference between 310 and 310S?

310 plate contains no more than 0.25% carbon while 310S contains at most 0.08% carbon. 310H stainless steel is comprised of between 0.04% and 0.1% carbon. 310, 310S and 310H stainless steel plate all contain 2.0% manganese, 0.045% phosphorous and 0.30% sulfur.

What is the difference between 304 and 310S?

What is the difference between SS 310 and 314 stainless steel?

314 stainless steel is an austenitic, heat resistant grade that is very similar to type 310S. The difference is that 314 has a higher level of silicon, which improves oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Alloy 314 has the best high-temperature resistance capabilities of any chromium nickel stainless grades.

What is the difference between 310 and 310S stainless steel?

Type 310S Stainless Steel is identical to Type 310 except for a lower carbon content that minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability. They are essentially nonmagnetic as annealed and become lightly magnetic when cold worked.

What is the difference between 310S and 316L?

Compared to 316L, 310S has better corrosion-resistance in the salt, since it contains more Cr and Ni element. The corrosion layer thickness of the 310S and 316L is 1.613μm and 2.903μm based on the cross-section micrographs, which is equal to 0.499μm/year and 1.460μm/year, respectively.

Does 310 stainless steel rust?

Corrosion Resistance The alloy is prone to intergranular corrosion after long term exposure at high temperatures. However, due to its high chromium content (25%), Alloy 310 is more corrosion resistant than most heat resistant alloys.
