Hi. I have an operating temperature of 1000 Deg C for which I need a Stainless Steel base plate. Given the cost differential, can I use SS 202 Grade for such a temperature, or is SS 310 the only economical option? Thanks.
310 is your only choice unless you want to mover to a real high temp grade.
What is the atmosphere, size, load, thermal cycling?
All of those are critical.
