321 stainless steel round bar
321 stainless steel round bar is a high-performance austenitic steel product that offers exceptional resistance to intergranular corrosion and excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This versatile material is stabilized with titanium, which prevents chromium carbide precipitation and maintains its structural integrity even after extended exposure to high temperatures ranging from 800°F to 1500°F. The round bar format provides ideal characteristics for machining and fabrication, making it a preferred choice in various industrial applications. The material's chemical composition includes 17-19% chromium, 9-12% nickel, and small amounts of titanium, which work together to create a robust and reliable product. Its superior weldability and excellent oxidation resistance make it particularly suitable for applications in extreme environments. The 321 stainless steel round bar maintains its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures, making it invaluable in heat exchanger components, aircraft exhaust stacks, pressure vessels, and chemical processing equipment.
