Type 310S is a low carbon austenitic stainless steel. Known for its ability to withstand high temperature applications, Type 310S, which is a lower carbon version of Type 310, also offers users an array of benefits including:

• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Good aqueous corrosion resistance
• Not prone to thermal fatigue and cyclic heating
• Superior to Type 304 and 309 in most environments
• Good strength in temperatures up to 2100°F

Because of Type 310S’s excellent general properties a wide range of industries use Type 310S for an number of different applications including:

• Furnaces
• Oil burners
• Heat exchangers
• Welding filler wire and electrodes
• Cryogenics
• Kilns
• Food processing equipment

One reason for these unique properties is Type 310S’s specific chemical make-up that includes:

• Fe balance
• Cr 24-26%
• NI 19-22%
• C 0.08%
• Si 0.75%-1%
• Mn 2%
• P .045%
• S 0.35%
• Mo 0.75%
• Cu 0.5%

Continental Steel supplies Type 310S in a number of different sizes and shapes including sheet, plate, bar, pipe, tube, and wire. All of Continental Steel’s Type 310S stainless steel meets international standards like ASTM, UNS, and DIN.
