314

Data verified

314 is a heat-resistant grade like 310 but with silicon raised to 1.50–3.00% for still better scaling resistance in cyclic high-temperature service. It is a speciality grade, stocked far less widely than 310S.

Applications & Processing

Applications: Furnace conveyor parts, radiant tube hangers, burner nozzles, glass-industry tools, high-temperature fixtures.

Processing: Higher silicon makes welding and hot working less forgiving than 310S; machining is slow, with strong work hardening.
