Whether you're an engineer designing furnace components or a procurement specialist sourcing for petrochemical applications, this article will clarify why 310S stainless steel (UNS S31060) is a trusted option. Explore our sa 240/a 240 uns stainless grades portfolio for related grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s30615, sa 240/a 240 uns s30815, sa 240/a 240 uns s30909, sa 240/a 240 uns s30940, sa 240/a 240 uns s31040, sa 240/a 240 uns s31041, sa 240/a 240 uns s31050, sa 240/a 240 uns s31254, and sa 240/a 240 uns s31266.
ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060, known as 310S, is an austenitic stainless steel with 24.0-26.0% chromium, 19.0-22.0% nickel, and a low carbon content (≤ 0.08%). It is designed for high-temperature applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and moderate weldability, making it ideal for industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and furnace manufacturing. The low carbon content improves weldability compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s31041, while the high chromium and nickel content ensure robust oxidation resistance up to 1100°C (2012°F).
The ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060 stainless steel sheet offers excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30909 and better weldability than sa 240/a 240 uns s30815 due to its lower carbon content. While it is less corrosion-resistant in highly aggressive environments than grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s31050 or sa 240/a 240 uns s31254, its balance of corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance makes it a preferred choice for furnace and heat exchanger applications.
Key benefits of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060 stainless steel sheet include:
Case Study: A petrochemical plant in India used sa 240/a 240 uns s31060 sheets for furnace components, achieving a 20% cost reduction compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30815 while maintaining reliable high-temperature performance.

The density of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060 stainless steel sheet is approximately 7.89 g/cm³ (0.285 lb/in³). This density is typical for high-chromium and high-nickel austenitic stainless steels, reflecting the material's composition. The consistent density ensures predictable performance in applications requiring precise weight calculations, such as furnace components and heat exchangers. Compared to grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s30815 (7.80 g/cm³) and sa 240/a 240 uns s31050 (7.89 g/cm³), the density is similar, making UNS S31060 a reliable choice for weight-sensitive high-temperature applications.

ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060offers excellent corrosion resistance in high-temperature environments, such as petrochemical and power generation settings. Its 24.0-26.0% chromium and 19.0-22.0% nickel content provide a robust protective oxide layer, with a pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) of ~24-26, suitable for applications like furnace linings and heat exchanger tubes. It outperforms sa 240/a 240 uns s30615 and sa 240/a 240 uns s30940 in high-temperature corrosion resistance due to its higher chromium and nickel content. For highly corrosive environments, such as chloride-rich conditions, grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s31050 or sa 240/a 240 uns s31254 are recommended.

The low carbon content (≤ 0.08%) of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31060 ensures good weldability by minimizing carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion during welding, making it more weldable than sa 240/a 240 uns s31041. It can be welded using common techniques such as TIG, MIG, and shielded metal arc welding, with appropriate filler materials (e.g., 310S-specific fillers) to maintain corrosion resistance and strength. Compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s31040, UNS S31060 is slightly less weldable due to the absence of niobium stabilization but is more cost-effective. For applications requiring superior weldability, sa 240/a 240 uns s31050 is a better choice.
