Stainless steel bar 310

Stainless steel bar 310 is an austenitic steel grade with excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance. It can maintain complete oxidation and corrosion resistance at very high temperatures and is an ideal choice for applications requiring excellent performance in extremely demanding environments. It has been used for a wide range of applications in industries such as food processing, chemical processing, and marine engineering.

The composition of stainless steel bar 310 is chromium, nickel, and silicon with a high level of austenite. This composition is designed to provide maximum corrosion resistance, while also contributing to its mechanical properties. This alloy is excellent resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as stress corrosion cracking. It also has excellent formability, good stress rupture and high creep strength, making it a great choice for use in highly corrosive industrial or marine applications.

The welding of stainless steel bar 310 is best accomplished with the appropriate welding processes to avoid cracking or other defects. It is not recommended for welding with processes like GTAW, FCAW, SMAW, and PAW. In type welds, the filler material should be matched to the base material, and proper manipulation of parameters should be taken to minimize the risk of weld defects.

Stainless steel bar 310 is a popular choice for many high temperature applications and due to its excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance in extremely demanding environments. It has good formability, excellent stress rupture and satisfactory creep strength, making it an ideal choice for food processing, chemical processing, and marine engineering applications. While it is not recommended for welding due to its high risk of weld defects, it is an excellent option for components in a wide range of industrial and marine environments.

300 Series Stainless Steel Bars

300 series stainless steel bars are classified as a group of austenitic stainless steels with chromium and nickel content. 300 series stainless steel bars have the characteristics of high strength, ductility, weldability, toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. They are mainly used in automotive, petrochemical, and construction industries.

300 series stainless steel bars we offer include 304, 304L, 309, 310, 310S, 316, 316L, 321, and 430. All of our 300 series stainless steel bars are made from virgin materials with 316L being the preferred grade offering superior corrosion resistance.

304 is an austenitic stainless steel containing 18 to 20% chromium and 8 to 10% nickel. It has superior corrosion resistance to material 316L, but is susceptible to stress cracking.

304L is a low carb version of 304. It has an extra low carbon content of <0.03%. This low carbon content reduces susceptibility to carbide precipitation and is ideal for welding operations.

309 is a heat-resisting austenitic stainless steel containing 22 to 24 percent chromium and 12 to 15 percent nickel. It has good corrosion resistance as well as excellent oxidation, corrosion, and high-temperature resistance to nitriding.

310 and 310S are austenitic heat-resisting stainless steel. 310 is noted for its excellent resistance to carburising, while 310S has superior resistance to oxidation and sulfidation.

316 is an austenitic stainless steel containing 16 to 18% chromium, 10 to 14% nickel, and 2 to 3% molybdenum. It has excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of media, especially seawater and other chloride containing environments.

316L is a low carbon version of 316 with superior corrosion resistance to chlorides and other corrosive media. It is often used in the production of medical equipment and chemical processing.

321 is an austenitic stainless steel containing 18 to 20% chromium, 8 to 10% nickel, and 0.1 to 2.0% titanium. It offers superior resistance to general corrosion, pitting, and stress cracking.

430 is a ferritic stainless steel containing 17 to 21% chromium, 1 to 2% niobium, and less than 0.1% molybdenum. It is not considered a corrosion-resistant alloy, but is often used in decorative applications.
