Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bar/Rod is a high-carbon variant of the titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel alloy 321. Its typical makeup features chromium (17–19%), nickel (9–12%), carbon (0.04–0.10%), and titanium (at least five times the carbon content). The increased carbon content enhances its strength at high temperatures and improves creep resistance. In terms of mechanical properties, it boasts a tensile strength of about 75 ksi (515 MPa), a yield strength of 30 ksi (205 MPa), and an elongation of roughly 40%. This alloy is designed to maintain its structural integrity in high-temperature settings and offers excellent resistance to oxidation and intergranular corrosion, particularly after welding or exposure to heat.

SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods are highly resistant to oxidation and intergranular corrosion due to titanium stabilization, making them ideal for high-temperature environments. They offer excellent strength, durability, and resistance to sulfur compounds, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions.
SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They are ideal for high-temperature applications such as heat exchangers, pressure vessels, exhaust systems, and furnace components due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods can be welded easily, thanks to their titanium stabilization, which prevents sensitization and intergranular corrosion. However, it's essential to use low-carbon filler materials to maintain the material's properties and prevent carbide precipitation. Pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment may be required for optimal results.
Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bar/Rod is commonly utilized in situations that demand exceptional high-temperature strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Its hexagonal shape is perfect for precision machining, mechanical fastening, and structural assemblies. Typical applications include components for furnaces, heat exchangers, expansion joints, exhaust systems, and pressure piping in oil refineries and chemical plants. The titanium stabilization in this alloy effectively prevents carbide precipitation, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
