Grade 310 is a medium carbon austenitic stainless steel, for high
temperature applications such as furnace parts and heat treatment
equipment. It is used at temperatures up to 1150°C in continuous
service, and 1035°C in intermittent service. Grade 310S is a low carbon
version of grade 310.Chemcial Composition of Grade 310/310S Stainless Steel,The chemical composition of grade 310 and grade 310S stainless steel are summarised in the following table. Table 1.
