1. Stainless Steel 310 Coil Corrosion Resistance:

• Provides excellent corrosion resistance
• High chromium content allows for good aqueous corrosion resistance
• Excellent resistance at normal temperatures and also has good resistance to oxidizing and carburizing atmospheres

2. Stainless Steel 310 Coil Heat Resistance:

• 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
• Generally used at temperatures starting from about 800 or 900°C – above the temperatures at which 304H and 321 are effective.

3. Stainless Steel 310 Coil Fabrication:

• 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.

4. Stainless Steel 310 Coil Weldability:

• 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
