Stainless Steel 310s Foil

Stainless Steel 310S foil is the low carbon version of Stainless Steel 310 and has better high temperature and oxidation resistance. It is a class of stainless steel with high chromium and nickel, making it have high heat resistance and high durability. Since 310S has a lower carbon percentage than 310, carbide formation is limited, improving the alloy's capability to resist oxidation and scaling. This makes Stainless Steel 310S foil ideal for use in places with high temperatures and corrosion.
