321 Stainless Steel Overview
Stainless 321 is a heat resistant, titanium stabilized, austenitic alloy that's commonly used for service in the 1000°-1600°F temperature range. 321 stainless is primarily used in applications that involve continuous and intermittent service temperatures within the carbide precipitation range of 800°-1500°F. Type 321 is similar to type 304 stainless but with a titanium addition of at least five times the carbon content. This titanium addition reduces or prevents carbide precipitation during welding and in the 800°-1500°F service conditions. In order to provide optimum resistance to intergranular corrosion and to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking in service temperatures at 1500°-1650°F an air cool may be used.
What are the characteristics of 321 Stainless?
• Oxidation resistant to 1600°F
• Stabilized against weld heat affected zone (HAZ) intergranular corrosion
• Resists polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking
