310 Stainless Steel Coil
What is 310 Stainless Steel Coil?
Type 310 stainless steel is an austenitic alloy known for its exceptional high-temperature capabilities, withstanding up to 2000˚F in dry air due to its high chromium and nickel content. It boasts remarkable creep strength, superior oxidation resistance, and forms a robust scale at elevated temperatures. Offering excellent performance in thermal cycling and outperforming Type 309, this grade is also noted for its resistance to sulfidation and carburization in high-temperature environments. Additionally, 310 maintains non-magnetic properties in both annealed and cold-worked states and shares corrosion resistance qualities comparable to Types 304/304L.
Features of 310 Stainless Steel Coil
310/310S stainless steel is esteemed for its exceptional high-temperature capabilities, maintaining an austenitic structure that is not hardenable by heat treatment. Enhancements in its tensile and yield strengths are achievable through cold working, although this requires subsequent annealing to ensure stability in its properties. Engineered specifically for superior performance in high-temperature conditions, 310 stainless steel is ideal for elevated temperatures, whereas 310S is designed for use in slightly less extreme heat conditions, yet it still offers considerable resistance to high temperatures. It's important to note that cold working might decrease the material’s resistance to creep at high temperatures, which is vital for applications demanding sustained high-temperature resilience.

310 Stainless Steel Finishes & Applications
Applications of 310 Stainless Steel
Grade 310/310S stainless steel is prominently utilized in various high-temperature environments, showcasing its versatility across a range of applications. It's commonly employed in fluidized bed combustors, kilns, radiant tubes, and tube hangers in petroleum refining and steam boilers. Its resilience is also evident in coal gasifier internal components, lead pots, and thermowells. Additionally, it finds usage in refractory anchor bolts, burners, combustion chambers, retorts, and muffles, along with annealing covers and saggers. Beyond high-temperature applications, it's utilized in food processing equipment and cryogenic structures.
While typically available in hot rolled form to suit industrial applications, 310/310S stainless steel can also be found in cold rolled variants, suitable for manufacturing tubes."

310 Stainless Steel Coil FAQ
1. Which 310 variant is most frequently used?
The 310S variant of stainless steel is more prevalent, especially in China, owing to its optimal combination of excellent ductility, superior corrosion resistance, and robust high-temperature properties, all attributed to its reduced carbon content. This blend of qualities makes it highly favored for diverse industrial applications.
2. Distinguishing Between 310/310H/310S Stainless Steel Variants
The key differences among the 310, 310H, and 310S stainless steel grades are their carbon content levels, which directly influence their suitability for various applications. The 310S grade is tailored with a reduced carbon content below 0.08%, optimizing it for scenarios where both high-temperature resilience and corrosion resistance are crucial, yet post-welding annealing is impractical. On the other hand, the standard 310H stainless steel contains a higher carbon content, up to 0.25%, which boosts its strength but may compromise its welding suitability due to potential carbide precipitation. The 310 ss, with its carbon content ranging between 0.04% and 0.10%, provides a middle ground, offering enhanced strength while maintaining adequate weldability for high-temperature applications demanding reliable mechanical properties.
