310S Stainless steel plate is an austenitic stainless steel that combines excellent high temperature properties with good ductility and weldability. It is typically used for elevated temperature applications as its high chromium and nickel content provide solid corrosion resistance, excellent resistance to oxidation, and superior strength in temperatures up to 2100°F. Due to its high chromium and nickel content, it is superior to 304 or 309 stainless in most environments.
310S Stainless steel plate generally have excellent strength at elevated temperatures along with outstanding resistance to creep deformation and environmental attack. Therefore, Alloy 310 is used widely in industries such as heat treatment and chemical processing. Some examples include:
Fabrication of 310S Stainless steel plate:
Commonly used in the heat treatment and process industries due to high temperature and corrosive environments
Often fabricated into complex structures
Roller-forms, stamps and draws readily
Because 310 work hardens, severe forming operations should be followed by an anneal
Weldability of 310S Stainless steel plate
Austenitic stainless steel is generally considered to be weldable
Generally considered to have weldability equivalent to 304 and 304L
Special consideration is needed to compensate for a higher coefficient of thermal expansion to avoid warping and distortion
