310S Stainless steel strip is a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel   renowned for its exceptional resistance to oxidation and corrosion at elevated   temperatures. As the low-carbon version of grade 310, the "S" suffix signifies   its superior performance in high-temperature applications, minimizing carbide   precipitation and ensuring long-term structural stability. Our precision-rolled   310S strip offers unparalleled reliability for demanding environments where heat   resistance is paramount.

Key Features & Advantages

• Outstanding Oxidation Resistance: Excellently resists scale formation and oxidation in continuous service at temperatures up to 1150°C (2100°F) and in intermittent service up to 1035°C (1900°F). This makes it ideal for use in furnace atmospheres.

• Excellent High-Temperature Strength: Maintains remarkable mechanical strength and structural integrity under intense thermal stress and cyclic heating conditions.

• Low Carbon Content (0.08% max): The reduced carbon content significantly lowers the risk of carbide precipitation during exposure to high temperatures, enhancing resistance to intergranular corrosion and extending service life.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to various corrosive atmospheres, particularly sulfidation, and performs well in many aqueous environments.

• Formability and Weldability: The austenitic structure provides good ductility and formability. It can be readily welded using all standard techniques, making it versatile for fabricating complex components.
