What’s up guys?!?!? Michael back and guess what? I’m talkin Metal. Today, our video is another alloy of the 300 series of stainless steels found in aerospace applications 310 and 310S. These alloys differ only in the maximum carbon content permitted. 310 is point 25% max C and 310S is restricted to point 08% max.
Both 310 and 310S are austenitic stainless steels that have excellent oxidation resistance at higher temperatures. 310S is the more commonly produced version of the basic alloy and it also exhibits improved corrosion resistance as compared to 304 due to its higher Chromium and Nickel content. Typically used in the annealed condition aka Cond A. Annealing temperature is from 1900 to 2100 deg F. followed by rapid cooling for maximum corrosion resistance.
Either version is used for the high temperature oxidation resistance. The lower carbon 310S is preferred where the enhanced corrosion resistance of the alloy is required.
310 and 310S are considered non – magnetic in the annealed condition.

AMS 5521: Sheet, Strip, and Plate
AMS-QQ-S-763 Bars, Shapes, and Forgings
The ASTM and ASME standards for commercial applications are too numerous to detail here.
