310S Stainless Steel: High-Temperature Performance and Industrial Applications
310S stainless steel is a high-performance austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel widely used in industries that operate under extreme heat and corrosive conditions. Known for its outstanding high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, 310S stainless steel plays a critical role in modern industrial systems.
At Ganyeah Group, 310S stainless steel products are supplied to meet demanding international standards, ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Material Classification and Characteristics
310S stainless steel belongs to the austenitic Cr-Ni stainless steel family. Its high chromium and nickel content provides excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures, while maintaining stable mechanical properties during long-term service.
Compared with standard austenitic grades, 310S stainless steel demonstrates superior thermal stability, making it suitable for continuous operation in high-temperature applications.
Chemical Composition of 310S Stainless Steel
The typical chemical composition of 310S stainless steel is carefully balanced to ensure durability under heat:
- Chromium (Cr): 24–26%
- Nickel (Ni): 19–22%
- Silicon (Si): 0.5–1.5%
- Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08%
- Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03%
- Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045%
This composition enables 310S stainless steel to maintain excellent oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance even during prolonged high-temperature exposure.

Physical and Mechanical Properties
310S stainless steel has a density of approximately 8.0 g/cm³. After solution treatment, it exhibits stable and reliable mechanical performance:
- Yield strength: ≥ 205 MPa
- Tensile strength: ≥ 520 MPa
- Elongation: ≥ 40%
- Hardness: Meets applicable international standards
These properties ensure both strength and ductility, which are essential for high-temperature fabrication and service.
Key Industrial Applications of 310S Stainless Steel
Petrochemical Industry
In petrochemical processing, equipment is constantly exposed to high temperatures, high pressure, and corrosive media. 310S stainless steel is widely used for furnace tubes, reactors, and heat-resistant piping, where long-term stability is critical.
Power Generation
Thermal power plants require materials capable of withstanding extreme heat and pressure. 310S stainless steel is commonly used in boiler tubes, superheater tubes, and heat exchanger components, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Aerospace Industry
Aerospace applications demand materials that maintain strength and reliability under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. Thanks to its excellent high-temperature resistance and mechanical stability, 310S stainless steel is used in engine components, combustion chambers, and high-temperature structural parts.
Environmental Protection Equipment
In waste incineration systems and exhaust gas treatment units, materials must resist heat, oxidation, and corrosive gases. 310S stainless steel helps ensure stable operation, extended service life, and reduced emissions in environmental protection equipment.
