321 stainless steel sheet
321 stainless steel sheet is a specialized austenitic stainless steel grade that offers exceptional resistance to intergranular corrosion and excellent high-temperature performance. This versatile material contains titanium as a stabilizing element, which prevents chromium carbide precipitation at elevated temperatures, making it particularly suitable for applications between 800°F and 1500°F (427°C to 816°C). The addition of titanium also enhances the material's weldability and maintains its structural integrity during prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The sheet form of 321 stainless steel is widely utilized in various industries, including aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation. Its superior corrosion resistance, combined with excellent mechanical properties, makes it an ideal choice for heat exchangers, furnace parts, aircraft components, and exhaust systems. The material maintains its strength and ductility across a wide temperature range, offering reliable performance in both cryogenic and high-temperature environments. Furthermore, 321 stainless steel sheet exhibits good formability and can be readily fabricated using conventional methods, including cutting, welding, and forming processes.
