310 Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate:
310 stainless steel sheet is an austenitic stainless steel developed for use in high temperature corrosion resistant applications. The alloy resists oxidation up to 2010oF under mildly cyclic conditions.Because of its high chromium and moderate nickel content, Alloy 310 is resistant to sulfidation and can also be used in moderately carburizing atmospheres.
310S Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate:
310S stainless steel sheet is the low carbon version of the alloy. It is utilized for ease of fabrication.
310H Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate:
310H is a high carbon modification developed for enhanced creep resistance. In most instances the grain size and carbon content of the plate can meet both the 310S and 310H requirements
