321 ss round bar

The 321 SS round bar is a premium grade stainless steel product that combines exceptional corrosion resistance with outstanding mechanical properties. This versatile material features a titanium-stabilized austenitic structure, making it particularly resistant to intergranular corrosion at elevated temperatures ranging from 800°F to 1500°F. The addition of titanium prevents chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries, ensuring maintained structural integrity even during prolonged exposure to high temperatures. With a diameter tolerance of ±0.13mm and surface roughness of Ra 0.8 or better, these round bars offer precise dimensional accuracy for critical applications. The material exhibits excellent weldability and maintains its mechanical properties across a wide temperature spectrum, making it ideal for high-temperature service conditions. The 321 SS round bar demonstrates superior resistance to oxidation and scaling, while its non-magnetic properties at room temperature make it suitable for specialized applications in various industries including aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation. The bars are available in multiple diameter sizes, ranging from 10mm to 500mm, and can be supplied in various lengths to meet specific project requirements.

321 ss round bar

Superior Temperature Performance

Superior Temperature Performance

The 321 SS round bar excels in high-temperature applications, maintaining its structural integrity and mechanical properties at temperatures up to 1500°F. This exceptional thermal stability is achieved through the precise addition of titanium, which forms stable carbides and prevents chromium depletion at grain boundaries. This feature is particularly crucial in applications involving thermal cycling or continuous high-temperature exposure. The material's ability to resist oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures ensures consistent performance and reduced maintenance requirements in demanding thermal environments. The stability of its austenitic structure across a wide temperature range makes it an ideal choice for critical components in heat exchangers, furnace parts, and jet engine components.
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance

The 321 SS round bar demonstrates exceptional resistance to various forms of corrosion, particularly in aggressive chemical environments. The carefully balanced chemical composition, including optimized chromium and nickel content, creates a stable passive layer that provides continuous protection against corrosive media. The titanium stabilization prevents sensitization and intergranular corrosion, a common failure mode in unstabilized grades. This enhanced corrosion resistance extends the service life of components and reduces the frequency of replacements, leading to significant cost savings over time. The material's ability to maintain its corrosion resistance even after welding or heat treatment makes it particularly valuable in fabricated assemblies exposed to corrosive environments.
Versatile Manufacturing Capabilities

Versatile Manufacturing Capabilities

The 321 SS round bar offers exceptional manufacturing versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of fabrication processes. The material's excellent machinability allows for precise cutting, drilling, and turning operations with minimal tool wear. Its superior weldability eliminates the need for complex pre or post-weld heat treatments, streamlining the manufacturing process. The consistent mechanical properties and dimensional stability ensure predictable results during forming operations. The material's ability to maintain a good surface finish during machining reduces secondary finishing requirements. These manufacturing advantages, combined with the material's excellent formability, enable the production of complex components with tight tolerances and superior surface quality.
