310 Stainless Steel Sheet Price
SS 310 Sheet price starts from approximately ₹350 and goes up to ₹500 per kg (INR) or $4–8 per kg (USD). Final pricing varies with thickness, surface finish, order quantity, and current nickel and chromium market rates. Mirror-finish and thin-gauge precision sheets cost more than standard 2B-finish material. Contact Sachiya Steel International for volume-based pricing and current stock availability.
Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel 310 Sheet
The table below lists the chemical composition of SS 310 sheet per ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 (UNS S31000). The 24–26% chromium forms a protective oxide layer at elevated temperatures, while 19–22% nickel stabilises the austenitic structure against thermal cycling.
Mechanical Properties of 310 Stainless Steel Sheet
Per ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240, these are the minimum mechanical values for ASTM A240 Type 310 sheet.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (min) | 75 ksi (515 MPa) |
| Yield Strength, 0.2% offset (min) | 30 ksi (205 MPa) |
| Elongation in 2 in. (min) | 35% |

Industrial Applications of 310 Stainless Steel Sheet
310 stainless steel sheet is used in high-temperature environments up to 2000°F (1093°C). Four key sectors drive demand. They are as follows:
Furnace and Thermal Processing
Alloy 310 sheet is fabricated into furnace linings, muffles, radiant tubes, tube hangers, and kiln components. It is also used for heat treatment equipment and thermal processing enclosures.
Petrochemical and Chemical Processing
In petrochemical plants, 310 SS sheets are used in process piping, reactors and vessels operating under carburising atmospheres.
Food Processing
High-temperature baking, drying, and sterilisation equipment uses a 310 sheet. Ovens and conveyor systems in commercial bakeries are common examples.
Cryogenic Applications
310 sheet retains toughness at cryogenic temperatures, with low magnetic permeability. Cryogenic storage structures and high-temperature service benefit from this dual temperature capability.
310 vs 310S vs 310H Stainless Steel Sheet
Stainless Steel 310, 310S, and 310H sheets differ primarily in carbon content and are selected based on welding requirements, creep strength, and high-temperature service conditions.
| Parameter | 310 Sheet (Standard Grade) | 310S Sheet (Low Carbon) | 310H Sheet (High Carbon) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content (C) | Up to 0.25% | Max 0.08% | 0.04 – 0.10% |
| Silicon (Si) | Max 1.50% | Max 1.50% | Max 0.75% |
| Key Characteristic | Standard high-temperature grade | Low carbon for improved weldability | Controlled carbon for creep strength |
| Weldability | Moderate (risk of sensitisation) | Excellent (reduced carbide precipitation) | Moderate |
| Creep Resistance | Moderate | Lower than 310/310H | Higher (suited for elevated temperatures) |
| Primary Use | General high-temperature applications | Fabricated structures, welded components | Pressure vessels, boilers (ASME applications) |
| Availability | Less commonly stocked than 310S | Most commonly stocked | Supplied for code-specific requirements |
| Special Notes | Higher carbon improves strength but affects corrosion resistance after welding | Often overlaps with 310H chemistry, depending on heat treatment | Requires certified carbon content and grain control |
