310 Stainless Steel Chemical Composition & Properties

1. What is the chromium content of 310 stainless steel? 24.0-26.0%, which forms a protective oxide layer against oxidation.

2. How does nickel content affect 310 stainless steel? The 19.0-22.0% nickel stabilizes the austenitic structure and enhances toughness.

3. What is the tensile strength of 310 stainless steel at room temperature? ≥520 MPa in the annealed condition.

4. Why is sulfur content limited in 310 stainless steel? Excess sulfur impairs hot-working performance and causes hot shortness.

5. Does 310 stainless steel contain molybdenum? No, unlike 316L, it does not contain molybdenum, focusing on high-temperature rather than chloride corrosion resistance.
