Type Stainless steel 321H is a general-purpose austenitic stainless steel that is known for its general corrosion resistance designed to work within the carbide precipitation temperature range 427 to 816°C (800 to 1500°F). It contains high nickel contents and stabilized with titanium. This grade responds well to hardening by cold working. It has good welding features, and post-weld annealing is not normally required to restore its excellent performance in various corrosive conditions.
Type 321H stainless steel offers a wide variety of benefits including:
- Responds well to hardening by cold working
- Good welding characteristics
- Excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive media
- High creep & stress rupture properties
- Very ductile and forms easily
Because of Type 321H’s features and properties, it can be used in a number of industries and critical applications including:
- Chemical processing
- Petrochemical
- Pharmaceutical production
- Waste treatment including thermal oxidizers
- Food processing
- Aerospace applications
