ASTM A240 310S stainless steel is a special stainless steel material produced in accordance with the A240 standard established by the American Society for Materials and Testing (ASTM). This material is widely used because of its excellent resistance to high temperature and corrosion.
ASTM A240 310S Stainless Steel Features:
High temperature corrosion resistance: 310S stainless steel can still maintain excellent corrosion resistance at high temperatures, especially in oxidation and reduction atmospheres.
Good oxidation resistance: under high temperature conditions, 310S stainless steel surface can form a dense oxide film, effective resistance to oxidative corrosion.
Excellent heat resistance: the material can still maintain stable mechanical and physical properties at high temperatures, and the maximum use temperature can reach 1200℃.
Good processing performance: 310S stainless steel is easy to process, weld and cut, and can meet various processing needs.
The main chemical components of ASTM A240 310S stainless steel include chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). Among them, the content of chromium and nickel is higher, usually the content of chromium is 24~26%, and the content of nickel is 19~22%. The presence of these elements gives 310S stainless steel excellent high temperature and corrosion resistance.
ASTM A240 310S Stainless steel is usually delivered in the form of sheet, strip, bar, pipe (welded pipe and seamless pipe), forgings, etc. These materials undergo the necessary processing and treatment to meet the customer's use needs. The specific delivery status may include hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing, etc., depending on the customer's specific requirements for material properties.
Because ASTM A240 310S stainless steel has excellent high temperature and corrosion resistance, it is widely used in a variety of high temperature and corrosion environments, such as boilers, chemical heaters, heat pipes, etc. In addition, 310S stainless steel is the material of choice when manufacturing electric furnace tubes, automotive purification units, and other equipment that needs to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments.
