Designed for high temperature applications, 310 stainless steel fasteners provide high temperature oxidation resistance to 2000°F under mild cyclic conditions. An economic alternative to nickel alloys like alloy 330 or Inconel, 310 fasteners provide slightly less strength and temperature resistance – but at a significantly lower price point. Alloy 310 can be used in moderately caburizing, moderately oxidizing, nitriding, cementing and thermal cycling applications when not used at the maximum service temperature. 310SS fasteners also have good resistance to sulfidation and other forms of hot corrosion. Although primarily known for its high temperature properties, 310 stainless steel also provides excellent performance at cryogenic temperatures, with toughness down to -450˚F. Though 310 is ideal for high temperature use, it should not be exposed to the severe thermal shock of repeated liquid quenching or where aqueous corrosive contaminants are present.

International Standards & Global Designations for 310 Stainless Steel Fasteners
To serve clients worldwide, RAYCHIN LIMITED manufactures 310 stainless steel fasteners from material conforming to the following national and international specifications. This ensures full compliance for projects in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Our 310 SS bolts, nuts, screws, washers, stud bolts and threaded rods are produced from melts that strictly conform to the limits below per ASTM A479 / UNS S31000. The high chromium (25%) and nickel (20%) content provide exceptional oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength. The high carbon content (0.25% max) ensures excellent creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

Expert note: The high chromium content (25%) forms a protective Cr₂O₃ layer that provides exceptional oxidation resistance up to 1150°C (2100°F). The high nickel content (20%) stabilizes the austenitic structure and provides excellent resistance to carburization and thermal fatigue. For improved weldability and resistance to sensitization, 310S (UNS S31008) with lower carbon (0.08% max) is available. 310H (UNS S31009) with controlled carbon range (0.04-0.10%) is available for applications requiring optimum creep strength.
310 stainless steel fasteners are supplied in the solution annealed condition (1040°C minimum followed by water quenching). The data below represent minimum values per ASTM A479 and EN 10088-3.

High Temperature Performance of 310 Stainless Steel Fasteners
Grade 310 is specifically designed for high-temperature service. Its high chromium and nickel content provide exceptional resistance to oxidation and scaling, while maintaining good mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. 310 stainless steel fasteners are widely used in furnace applications, heat treatment equipment, and power generation components.
Maximum Service Temperatures
Service Condition
Maximum Temperature
Continuous Service (Oxidation Resistance)
1150°C (2100°F)
Intermittent Service
1035°C (1895°F)
The excellent oxidation resistance is due to the formation of a tight, adherent Cr₂O₃ scale that protects the underlying metal. This protective layer reforms rapidly if damaged, provided sufficient chromium is available.
Temperature-Dependent Mechanical Properties
The table below shows typical mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Note that strength decreases with increasing temperature, but 310 maintains useful strength up to its maximum service temperature.

Corrosion Resistance of 310 Stainless Steel Fasteners
While 310 is primarily selected for high-temperature applications, it also offers excellent corrosion resistance in many environments due to its high chromium and nickel content.
Oxidation and Scaling Resistance
The high chromium content (25%) provides exceptional resistance to oxidation and scaling. 310 stainless steel fasteners can be used in air up to 1150°C (2100°F) continuously without significant scaling. In intermittent service, the maximum temperature is slightly lower at 1035°C (1895°F).
Corrosion in Other Environments
Environment
Corrosion Resistance
Notes
Aqueous Corrosion
Good
Similar to 304 stainless steel in most environments, with enhanced resistance due to higher chromium and nickel content.
Nitric Acid
Excellent
Widely used for handling nitric acid up to 85% concentration at moderate temperatures.
Sulfur-Containing Atmospheres
Good
Performs better than lower alloy grades, but may be susceptible to sulfidation at very high temperatures.
Carburizing Atmospheres
Good
High nickel content provides good resistance to carburization, though may be less resistant than higher nickel alloys.
Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking
Better than 304/316
The high nickel content (20%) provides improved resistance to chloride SCC compared to 304 and 316, though it is not immune.
High-Temperature Corrosion Considerations
Sulfidation: In sulfur-containing atmospheres above 800°C, 310 may form sulfides which can reduce service life. For severe sulfidation conditions, higher nickel alloys are recommended.
Carburization: The high nickel content provides good resistance to carbon absorption, though in strongly carburizing atmospheres, alloy 600 or 800 may be preferred.
Nitriding: Ammonia and other nitriding atmospheres can cause surface hardening, which may reduce ductility.
Molten Salts: 310 has good resistance to many molten salts, but performance depends on specific salt composition and temperature.
High-Temperature Engineering Note: For critical applications in high-temperature environments, RAYCHIN LIMITED can provide specialized surface treatments, passivation, or recommend optimal heat treatment conditions. Third-party testing per ASTM standards available upon request. When specifying 310 stainless steel fasteners, consider the maximum service temperature, atmosphere composition, and mechanical load requirements.
