Louis Metals, a reputable stainless steel manufacturer and supplier located in Houston, USA, proudly offers top-notch Stainless Steel 321H Round Bars and Rods, specifically crafted for high-temperature and pressure applications. Known for its high-carbon, titanium-stabilized austenitic structure, 321H boasts exceptional creep strength, stress rupture resistance, and stability under prolonged heat exposure. Our precision-engineered 321H bars and rods adhere to strict ASTM and ASME standards, making them a go-to choice in industries like thermal processing, chemical, petrochemical, and power generation. At Louis Metals, we deliver robust, weldable, and corrosion-resistant 321H products designed to meet the demanding needs of industrial engineering environments.
Stainless Steel 321H Round Bars and Rods are made up of 17–19% chromium, 9–12% nickel, and titanium (at least five times the carbon content), featuring a higher carbon level (0.04–0.10%) compared to standard 321. This elevated carbon content enhances strength at high temperatures, while titanium stabilization helps prevent intergranular corrosion. The alloy offers a tensile strength ranging from 515 to 750 MPa, a yield strength of about 205 MPa, and a Brinell hardness between 150 and 200 HB. 321H performs reliably at temperatures reaching up to 900°C (1650°F), providing excellent oxidation resistance, dimensional stability, and weldability—making it perfect for high-heat industrial applications.
