Louis Metals supplies high–quality Stainless Steel 321 Bars and Rods from Houston, USA, designed for high-temperature service and good weldability. SS 321 is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel that contains titanium, applied in intergranular corrosion-exposed systems and high-heat applications. Louis Metals supplies accurately dimensioned, corrosion-resistant bars fit for industrial and aerospace industries.
Stainless Steel 321 has 17.0–19.0% Chromium, 9.0–12.0% Nickel, and Titanium for stabilization. It provides tensile strength of 515–750 MPa and yield strength of approximately 205 MPa. It is resistant to intergranular corrosion following welding and does not become magnetic. It is good in oxidizing conditions and maintains strength up to 1500°F (816°C).
