Steel Standart

310 equivalent grades: ASTM, EN, JIS, GB, DIN

310 is austenitic heat-resisting stainless steel (25 % Cr, 20 % Ni) specified in ASTM A240. The cross-reference runs across 6 standard systems and grades every candidate, so the reason a substitution is safe is on the same row as the name. The full 310 data sheet carries the composition and mechanical tables.

Last updated

310 is cross-certified with 310S24, 1.4845, 06Cr25Ni20 and 1 more: the composition windows overlap closely enough that one certificate satisfies the other. 309 / 309S, 1.4841, 10Kh23N18 / 20Kh23N18 differ on one limit only — a carbon ceiling, an impact temperature or a strength minimum. 321, 253MA / 1.4835 serve the same purpose without being the same steel, so a substitution there needs the design re-checked rather than the certificate. Across systems that is 1 in BS (superseded British), 3 in EN (European), 1 in GB/T (China), 1 in JIS (Japan), 2 in AISI / SAE, 1 in GOST (Russia/CIS).
