310/310S Grade Stainless
310/310S Chemical Composition
310 quality stainless steel is one of the most resistant materials to high temperatures among stainless steels. Thanks to the high chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) alloys in the material, this stainless steel quality has a very good corrosion resistance even at high temperatures. 310 stainless can withstand temperatures of approximately 1100C in continuous use. There are two different versions of 310 grade stainless steel in our widely used stocks. These are grades 310 and 310S. The main difference between these two versions is the amount of carbon they contain. We can summarize these two versions of 310 quality as follows.
310 and 310S Stainless Steel Carbon Quantities
-310 stainless carbon content C < 0.250 %
-310S stainless carbon content C < 0.080 %
Usage Areas
This stainless steel grade is used quite frequently in the chemical industry, the machinery industry. In addition to these, it is used in various apparatus and sets in the glass and glass manufacturing sector. 310 stainless steel is frequently used in high temperature furnaces, mines, furnaces and boilers. Another area where 310 stainless steel is used is Aluminum and bronze molds. In short, 310 (1.4845) stainless steel can be used almost anywhere where high temperatures and good corrosion resistance are required.
