What are Stainless Steel 310 Sheets?

Stainless steel 310 sheets are austenitic sheets constructed from a heat-resistant alloy with excellent oxidation resistance up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit under highly cyclic conditions. Alloy 310 is more resistant to high-temperature corrosion in most in-service situations due to its high chromium (25%) and silicon (0.6%) composition. With exceptional toughness to -450°F and low magnetic permeability, Stainless Steel 310 Sheets is frequently utilized at cryogenic temperatures.

Mechanical Properties of 310 stainless steel sheets has a tensile strength of 520Mpa and proof stress (grade 0.2%) of 205Mpa with an Elongation of 40%. It can withstand temperatures of up to 1150°C in continuous service and 1035°C in repeating solution. Alloy 310 Sheets are resistant to sulfidation and can be utilized in mildly carburizing environments because of their high chromium and moderate nickel concentration.

What is Corrosion Resistance?

Although the high chromium and nickel composition provide corrosion resistance better to grade 304, grade 310 Sheets are normally not used for harsh liquid service. Because the alloy lacks molybdenum, it has a low resistance to pitting. After service at temperatures ranging from 550 to 800°C, Grade 310 Sheets will become susceptible to intergranular corrosion. At temperatures above 100°C, chloride stress corrosion cracking can occur in corrosive liquids containing chlorides.

Common uses of Stainless Steel 310 Sheets

Examples of Usage Fluidized bed combustors, kilns, radiant tubes, tube hangers for petroleum refining and steam boilers, coal gasifier internal components, lead pots, Thermowell, refractory anchor bolts, burners and combustion chambers, retorts, muffles, annealing covers, saggers, food processing equipment, and cryogenic structures all use stainless steel 310 sheets.

It is employed in the outside cladding of large, high-impact structures and can also be found in the interiors as railings, countertops, backsplashes, and other decorative elements. All modes of transportation, including ship containers, road tankers, and garbage vehicles, use stainless steel 310 Sheets. It's perfect for transporting chemicals, liquids, and food supplies.
