C The high chromium content - intended to
increase high temperature properties - also
gives these grades good aqueous corrosion
resistance. The PRE is approximately 25, and
seawater resistance about 22°C, similar to
that of Grade 316. Excellent resistance at
normal temperatures, and when in high
temperature service exhibits good resistance
to oxidising and carburising atmospheres.
Resists fuming nitric acid at room
temperature and fused nitrates up to 425°C.
C Good resistance to oxidation in intermittent service in
air at temperatures up to 1040 °C and 1150 °C in
continuous service. Good resistance to thermal
fatigue and cyclic heating. Widely used where sulphur
dioxide gas is encountered at elevated temperatures.
Continuous use in 425-860°C range not
recommended due to carbide precipitation, if
subsequent aqueous corrosion resistance is needed,
but often performs well in temperatures fluctuating
above and below this range.
C Grade 310 is generally used at temperatures starting
from about 800 or 900°C - above the temperatures at
which 304H and 321 are effective.
C Solution Treatment (Annealing) - heat to
1040-1150°C and cool rapidly for maximum
corrosion resistance. This treatment is also
recommended to restore ductility after each
1000 hours of service above 650°C, due to
long term precipitation of brittle sigma
phase.
C These grades cannot be hardened by thermal
treatment.
C Good characteristics suited to all standard
methods. Grade 310S electrodes generally
recommended for fusion welding. AS 1554.6
pre-qualifies welding of 310 with Grade 310
rods or electrodes.
C 310 and 310S are sometimes stocked in
"Dual Certified" form - mainly in plate and
pipe. These items have chemical and
mechanical properties complying with both
310 and 310S specifications.
CTypical applications include:
C• Furnace parts
C• Oil burner parts
C• Carburising boxes
C• Heat Treatment baskets and jigs
C• Heat Exchangers
