ASTM A312 TP310Cb Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes (UNS S31040)
ASTM A312 TP310Cb is a columbium-stabilized, high-temperature austenitic stainless steel pipe grade designed for superior oxidation resistance, creep strength, and durability. With its enhanced chromium-nickel composition and Cb (niobium) stabilization, TP310Cb performs exceptionally well in elevated-temperature environments, thermal cycling conditions, and corrosive atmospheres.
Key Features (Bullet Points)
- UNS S31040 grade with columbium (Nb) stabilization for enhanced creep resistance
- Excellent high-temperature strength up to 1150°C
- Superior oxidation & carburization resistance
- High corrosion resistance in acidic and sulfur-bearing environments
- Excellent mechanical stability under thermal cycling
- Good weldability and fabricability
- Suitable for applications requiring long-term structural integrity
- Available in seamless & welded forms
