Heat-resistant austenitic grades

310S / 309S Stainless Steel

310S and 309S are austenitic stainless steels considered for elevated-temperature oxidation resistance and heat-related fabrication. Grade selection depends on continuous or cyclic temperature, atmosphere, mechanical load and the governing design code.

Final material selection remains the responsibility of the project design authority. Confirm product form, governing standard and current availability with sales.
