310 vs. 310S vs. 310H Stainless Steel

Mar 31, 2026

What is ss 310 material?
SS 310 (UNS S31000) is a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel designed forextreme high-temperature service and corrosion resistance. Containing 25%chromium and 20% nickel, it excels in oxidation resistance up to I, 100°C (2, 012°F) andis widely used in furnace components, kilns, heat exchangers, and chemical processingequipment.

 

What are the advantages of 310H SS?
310H stainless steel (UNS S31009) is a high-carbon, heat-resistant austenitic alloy (0.04–0.10% carbon) designed for improved creep strength and high-temperature performance. Its main advantages include exceptional oxidation resistance up to 1040°C-1150°C, superior creep strength, high corrosion resistance, and good toughness in demanding thermal cycling or sulphur-rich environments.

310 vs. 310S vs. 310H Stainless Steel: Key Differences

310, 310S, and 310H are all high-temperature austenitic stainless steels containing approximately 25% chromium and 20% nickel in their composition, offering exceptional oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 2,100°F (1,150°C). The primary distinction among these three steel grades lies in their carbon content: 310S is the low-carbon variant (carbon content ≤ 0.08%), designed to enhance weldability and corrosion resistance; 310H is the high-carbon variant (carbon content 0.04%–0.10%), engineered to provide superior creep strength; while 310 serves as the standard, general-purpose, medium-carbon version.

 

310 vs. 310S vs. 310H Stainless Steel: High-Temperature Resistance

310H offers optimal high-temperature strength and creep resistance (with a carbon content of 0.04%–0.10%), making it an ideal choice for furnace components and long-term high-temperature applications. 310S (low carbon) provides superior weldability and corrosion resistance, while standard 310 (high carbon) is suitable for general high-temperature applications up to 2100°F (1100°C).
