Stainless Steel 310 / 310S / 310H Pipes & Tubes

The ultimate high-temperature austenitic stainless steel - offering unmatched oxidation resistance up to 1150°C (2100°F).

Product Overview

Stainless Steel 310 is a high-chromium, high-nickel austenitic stainless steel designed for use in high-temperature applications where excellent oxidation resistance and high strength are required. Grade 310S is the low-carbon version, which is less prone to embrittlement and sensitization in service. Grade 310H is used for high creep strength. Because of its high chromium and nickel content, SS 310 provides excellent resistance to corrosion and is superior to SS 304 or 309 in most environments. It is extensively used in furnace parts, heat treatment equipment, and chemical processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grade 310 provides excellent oxidation resistance in continuous service at temperatures up to 1150°C and in intermittent service up to 1035°C.

SS 310S is the low-carbon version (max 0.08%). It is preferred for welding applications because it minimizes carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries during the welding process.

No, SS 310 is an austenitic stainless steel and is non-magnetic in both annealed and cold-worked conditions.

Yes, the high nickel and chromium content provide good resistance to carburization and moderately carburizing atmospheres in thermal processing plants.

We supply SS 310/310S in the form of Seamless Pipes, Welded Pipes, Heat Exchanger Tubes, Instrumentation Tubes, and Flanges with complete test certifications.
