Product Overview

What are SS 310 / 310S Nuts?

SS 310 / 310S nuts are austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S31000 and UNS S31008 bar stock conforming to ASTM A276 and ASTM A479. The alloy’s high chromium content (24-26%) and elevated nickel (19-22%) deliver exceptional oxidation resistance up to 1150°C, making these nuts the standard choice for high-temperature bolted assemblies where standard 304 or 316 stainless steel fails within months.

SS 310S is the low-carbon variant (0.08% C max) that resists sensitisation during prolonged high-temperature service, preventing intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone of welded assemblies. SS 310 / 310S nuts are widely specified for furnace hardware, kiln linings, heat treatment equipment, and petrochemical reformer flanges where continuous or cyclic thermal exposure is the primary design challenge.

Material Chemistry

SS 310 / 310S Chemical Composition

SS 310 / 310S Nuts are manufactured from an iron-chromium-nickel alloy with chromium (16–26%), nickel (8–28%), and grade-specific molybdenum additions per ASTM and ASTM A193/A194. Chromium content governs the self-healing passive oxide film; molybdenum (2–6%) enhances chloride pitting resistance; and carbon content determines sensitization risk in welded assemblies.

Why SS 310 / 310S Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

Cr (24–26%) — High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance
The elevated chromium content forms a dense, adherent Cr2O3 oxide scale that remains stable up to 1150°C in continuous service. This prevents scaling and thread degradation in furnace door bolting, kiln hardware, and heat treatment basket assemblies where nuts are repeatedly cycled through high temperatures.
Ni (19–22%) — Structural Stability at Elevated Temperature
High nickel content stabilises the austenitic structure at elevated temperatures, preventing sigma phase embrittlement during long-term thermal exposure. SS 310 / 310S nuts retain adequate ductility and thread integrity even after thousands of hours above 800°C.
Low Carbon in 310S — Sensitisation Prevention
The 310S variant limits carbon to 0.08% max, suppressing chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries during slow cooling or prolonged service in the 425–870°C sensitisation range. This makes 310S nuts the preferred choice for welded assemblies and cyclic thermal applications where intergranular corrosion is a risk.

?? Anti-galling: SS 310 / 310S nuts are prone to galling against stainless steel bolts at elevated temperatures. Use high-temperature anti-seize (Molykote 1000 or Jet-Lube SS-30) on all threads. Lubricated values assume K=0.17. Inspect threads for cold welding after each thermal cycle.

Industry Applications

SS 310 / 310S Nuts Applications — Industries & End Uses

SS 310 / 310S Nuts from RealBolt are specified across food and dairy, pharmaceutical, marine, chemical processing, and oil and gas where very good corrosion resistance and 620 MPa tensile strength are required for reliable fastener performance. Click each industry below for detailed application examples.
SS 310 / 310S hex nuts and heavy hex nuts are the standard fastener for furnace door frames, muffle furnace shell assemblies, heat treatment basket hardware, and annealing bell furnace flanges. Continuous service temperatures up to 1150°C are handled without scaling or thread seizure that would occur with 304 or 316 stainless steel nuts.
Heavy hex nuts for reformer tube hanger connections, fired heater tube support brackets, and radiant section flange assemblies in hydrogen reforming and steam cracking units. The high chromium-nickel content resists carburisation and oxidising flue gas atmospheres at tube skin temperatures exceeding 900°C.
SS 310 / 310S nuts are used on kiln shell bolting, riding ring attachment hardware, and tyre retaining plate connections where continuous exposure to 800-1100°C process temperatures and abrasive dust environments demands superior oxidation resistance and dimensional stability over long maintenance intervals.
Flange nut sets for waste-to-energy incinerator grate assemblies, superheater header connections, and boiler casing expansion joint hardware. The alloy’s resistance to sulphidation and chlorine-bearing combustion gases at elevated temperatures makes it the preferred choice over lower-alloy stainless grades in these environments.

SS 310 / 310S Nuts — Frequently Asked Questions

Browse expert answers to common questions about SS 310 / 310S Nuts from RealBolt — covering ASTM A193/A194 grades, chloride resistance, temperature limits, sensitization, sizes, and MTC documentation. Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on SS 310 / 310S nuts selection and pricing.
The primary difference is carbon content. SS 310 nuts allow up to 0.25% carbon, while SS 310S limits carbon to 0.08% maximum. In practice, 310S is preferred for most high-temperature applications because the lower carbon content prevents chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries during prolonged exposure in the 425-870°C sensitisation range. This eliminates the risk of intergranular corrosion in service. Both grades share identical chromium (24-26%) and nickel (19-22%) content and are interchangeable dimensionally. Specify 310S for welded assemblies or cyclic thermal service; 310 is acceptable for short-term or non-welded high-temperature applications.
SS 310 / 310S nuts are available to DIN 934 (standard hex nuts, metric), DIN 6915 (heavy hex nuts), ISO 4032 (style 1) and ISO 4033 (style 2 tall), and ASME B18.2.2 for inch heavy hex nuts used in ASME B16.5 flange assemblies. Coupling nuts, dome nuts, and flange nuts are also available in SS 310 / 310S on request. Custom thread forms including BSW, BSF, and BSPP are available with a 15 working day lead time.
Austenitic stainless steel grades including SS 310 and 310S are susceptible to galling – a form of adhesive wear that cold-welds mating threads under high contact pressure. This risk increases significantly at elevated temperatures. To prevent galling, always apply a high-temperature anti-seize compound such as Molykote 1000, Jet-Lube SS-30, or Bostik Never-Seez High-Temperature to all threads and bearing faces before assembly. Reduce torque values by approximately 20% when using anti-seize. After thermal cycling, inspect threads before re-torquing, as partial cold welding can occur even with lubrication.
SS 310 / 310S nuts are rated for continuous service up to 1150°C and intermittent service up to 1040°C. Above 1040°C in intermittent cycling, sigma phase formation can occur over extended periods, reducing ductility. For applications above 1100°C or involving rapid thermal cycling, consider specifying solution-annealed material with a post-fabrication anneal, or consult our engineering team regarding alternative alloys such as Alloy 330 or Inconel 601 for extreme conditions.
