310 Stainless Steel Sheet Manufacturer in China
310, 310H, and 310S SS sheets are austenitic stainless steel commonly used in high-temperature applications. They are also used in cryogenic applications because of their low magnetic permeability and toughness. 310 grades contain 20% nickel and 25% chromium which makes them highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
TuoLian has excellent processing capabilities and is capable of providing custom 310 SS sheets. We can customize the 310 SS sheets to any size, shape, thickness, surface finish, and other specifications you need.

Corrosion Resistance
310 stainless steel sheets have excellent corrosion resistance at room temperature. They also have excellent performance at high temperatures since that is their main application. At high-temperature conditions, they can maintain their exceptional resistance to:
- carburizing
- oxidizing
- high-temperature corrosion
- aqueous corrosion
- other types of hot corrosion
They have high chromium content which makes them able to resist various types of corrosion.
Physical Properties
310 stainless steel sheets have:
- a specific heat of 0.12 BTU/lb-°F between 32℉ and 212℉ (502 J/kg-°K between 0 and 100°C)
