ASTM A182 F310

A182 F310 specification covers forged low alloy and stainless steel piping components for use in pressure systems. It is a medium carbon austenitic stainless steel which is for high temperature applications such as furnace parts and heat treatment equipment. It is used in a continuous service at the temperatures up to 1150°C, and 1035°C in intermittent service.

SA 182 F310 contains 25% chromium and 20% nickel which make it highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Its high chromium and medium nickel content makes it capable for applications in reducing sulphur atmospheres containing H2S. It is extensively used in moderately carburising atmospheres, as it comes across in petrochemical environments. ASTM A182 F310 is used in an application of food processing equipment, fluidised bed combustors, kilns, radiant tubes, lead pots, tube hangers for steam boilers and petroleum refining, internal components of coal gasifier, thermowells, burners and combustion chambers, refractory anchor bolts, retorts, muffles, annealing covers, saggers, cryogenic structures. Stainless Steel 310 Flanges is a forged or cast ring of steel which is designed to connect mechanically sections of pipe or join pipe to a pump, pressure vessel, valve or any other piece of instruments. It can be welded by matching electrodes and filler metals.

Alloy 310 Flanges requires preheat and post heat are not required, but for corrosion service in liquids full post weld solution annealing treatment is required. It has good oxidation resistance in intermittent service in air up to 1035°C and 1050°C in continuous service. It is oxidation, sulphidation and carburization resistant.
