China JT Metal is 310 stainless steel supplier of round bar, sheet, plate pipe and tube. Guillotine cut pieces can be produced to your required sizes. 310 stainless steel round bar is available and diameters can be cut to your requirements. Stainless steel 310 ground steel bar can be supplied, providing a high quality stainless precision ground bar to your close tolerances. 310 stainless steel pipe is available in nominal bore / schedule sizes.

With its high heat resistance characteristics typical applications include parts for furnaces, heat treatment baskets, jigs, case hardening boxes, steam locomotives parts, burners, combustion chambers, heat exchangers and food processing equipment.

310 offers excellent corrosion resistance and in many environments has better corrosion resistant properties to austenitic stainless grade 304. 

310 stainless steel is readily weldable with most welding procedures although oxyacetylene welding is not recommended due to possible carbon pick up in the weld area. As with welding of most austenitic stainless steel grades when filler metal is required, matching compositions are generally used. We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information on welding stainless steel.

Heat the 310 stainless slowly and uniformly throughout the section to 1100-1230°C. Re heat as necessary and avoid working below 1000°C. Rapid cooling is required to maximize corrosion resistance. Forgings will require annealing in order to obtain optimum corrosion resistance.

The oxidation resistance of a stainless steel is traditionally termed as the scaling temperature. This is the temperature at which the oxidation rate of the stainless steel becomes unacceptably high. The safe scaling temperature for continuous service of stainless 310 is 1100°C. In an oxidising and reducing sulphurous atmosphere the scaling temperature of 310 stainless is lowered.

Stainless steel 310 grade is available with BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certification, please request when placing any orders.

310 stainless is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001 : 2008 registration.
