Type 310S is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel. Known for its ability to withstand high-temperature applications, Type 310S, which is a lower carbon version of Type 310, also offers users an array of benefits including:
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Good aqueous corrosion resistance
- Not prone to thermal fatigue and cyclic heating
- Superior to Type 304 and 309 in most environments
- Good strength in temperatures up to 2100°F
Because of Type 310S’s excellent general properties, a wide range of industries use Type 310S for a number of different applications including:
- Furnaces
- Oil burners
- Heat exchangers
- Welding filler wire and electrodes
- Cryogenics
- Kilns
- Food processing equipment
One reason for these unique properties is Type 310S’s specific chemical makeup which includes:
- Fe balance
- Cr 24-26%
- NI 19-22%
- C 0.08%
- Si 0.75%-1%
- Mn 2%
- P .045%
- S 0.35%
- Mo 0.75%
- Cu 0.5%
