Why this combination
Why SS 310S in plates
Fabricated furnace hardware is cut and welded from plate; SS 310S's low carbon helps weldability while chromium and nickel resist scaling.
Long exposure at intermediate temperatures can form sigma phase and reduce toughness; design and inspection should allow for it.
