310 Supplier | Bar, Tube, Plate - Hangbo Alloy

Date: 2026年1月28日 Categories: Stainless Steel Views: 371

Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group Co., Ltd. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and global supplier of 310 stainless steel (UNS S31000 / EN 1.4845 / GB 06Cr25Ni20) round bars, plates, sheets, strips, seamless and welded tubes, pipes, forgings and wire. As a high-chromium, high-nickel 25Cr-20Ni austenitic grade, 310 delivers exceptional oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength up to 1035°C continuous service — the proven material for furnaces, kilns, heat-treatment fixtures and petrochemical thermal equipment.

Depth Characteristics

  1. Supreme Heat Resistance: Outstanding oxidation and scaling resistance to 1035°C continuous and 1150°C intermittent service.
  2. High-Temperature Strength: The 25Cr-20Ni chemistry maintains creep and rupture strength where 304/316 lose load-bearing capacity.
  3. Thermal Cycling Endurance: Good resistance to thermal shock and cyclic oxidation for furnace components that heat and cool repeatedly.
  4. Broad Atmosphere Compatibility: Performs well in oxidizing and mildly reducing atmospheres, including flue-gas and combustion environments.
  5. Good Weldability: Weldable by all standard processes with matching 310/310S fillers; suitable for heavy-section fabrication.

Manufacturing Process — Melting & Rolling

310 is melted in EAF and refined by AOD with tight control of carbon and residual elements. Slabs are continuously cast, hot-rolled and solution annealed at 1038–1120°C followed by rapid water quenching to dissolve carbides and maximize ductility. Plates and strip are pickled and passivated; bars are annealed, peeled and straightened. The higher carbon content of 310 (0.25% max) provides creep strength at elevated temperature; where welding is extensive, the low-carbon 310S (UNS S31008) is commonly specified.

Testing & Inspection Methods — 100% PMI / UT

  • PMI (Positive Material Identification): 100% XRF verification of Cr and Ni on every heat before dispatch.
  • UT (Ultrasonic Testing): Full-length ultrasonic examination of bar per ASTM A388/E2375 where specified.
  • Mechanical & Chemical: Tensile and hardness per ASTM A370/A240; chemical analysis per ASTM E353 with EN 10204 3.1 certificates.
  • Plus: intergranular corrosion test (ASTM A262) and 100% dimensional inspection on request.

High-Frequency Application Scenarios

  • Furnaces & Kilns: Muffles, retorts, radiant tubes and furnace linings in heat-treatment and ceramic kilns.
  • Heat-Treatment Fixtures: Baskets, trays, jigs and fixtures for carburizing, nitriding and annealing furnaces.
  • Petrochemical: Pyrolysis and reformer furnace internals, transfer lines and tube supports.
  • Power & Boiler: Superheater and reheater components for high-temperature steam service.
  • Waste Incineration: Combustion chamber liners, grates and exhaust components in incinerators.

6+ Professional FAQs

1. What is the difference between 310 and 310S?
Carbon content: 0.25% max for 310 vs 0.08% max for 310S (UNS S31008). 310 offers higher creep strength at temperature; 310S is preferred where extensive welding could cause sensitization.

2. What is the maximum service temperature of 310?
Approximately 1035°C for continuous service and 1150°C for intermittent service, limited by oxidation rather than strength.

3. Can 310 be used in chloride environments?
No — like all austenitic stainless steels, 310 is susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Specify nickel alloys or duplex grades for chloride service.

4. How is 310 welded?
Use matching 310/310S fillers (e.g., ER310); keep heat input moderate and interpass temperature low to limit carbide precipitation and sigma-phase risk.

5. How does 310 compare with 314 (UNS S31400)?
314 adds up to 3% silicon, extending scaling resistance to about 1150°C, but 310 offers better fabricability and toughness for most furnace applications.

6. Which product forms are available?
Round bar, plate, sheet, strip, seamless and welded tube/pipe, forgings, flanges and wire — with EN 10204 3.1 certificates and full traceability.
