ASTM A213 TP321 1.4541 UNS S32100 Stainless Steel Seamless Tube Cold Drawn Low Temperature Application
321 stainless steel is a material with excellent high temperature Stress Rupture properties and high temperature Creep Resistance stress mechanical properties are better than 304 stainless steel. 321 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and is widely used in petrochemical， electric power， bridge and automobile industries.
Austenitic stainless steel equivalent to domestic grade 0Cr18Ni10Ti 321 stainless steel is Ni-Cr-Mo austenitic stainless steel， its performance is very similar to 304， but due to the addition of titanium metal， so that it has better resistance to grain boundary corrosion and high temperature strength. Due to the addition of titanium metal， it effectively controls the formation of chromium carbide.
321 austenitic stainless steel has good corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and is widely used in petrochemical， electric power， bridge and automobile industries . However， the "stainless steel" is not absolute， due to the special service environment， stainless steel will also corrosion. Medium concentration， pH value， temperature and other factors will have a greater impact on the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. For example， in the sensitization temperature range of 450~850℃ for a long time， stainless steel will occur intergranular corrosion. The mechanism is that C combines with Cr at the grain boundary to form Cr23C6 and precipitates， so that the Cr content at the grain boundary is reduced， which is the so-called "chromium poor". The Cr element is one of the main elements to inhibit intergranular corrosion， when the Cr content at the grain boundary is less than 12%， the probability of intergranular corrosion will be increased.
What is the chemical composition of 321 stainless steel?
The main chemical components of 321 stainless steel include:
Iron (Fe) : about 60-75% of the total mass of the alloy.
Nickel (Ni) : about 8-11%. The corrosion resistance of the alloy is improved.
Chromium (Cr) : about 17-20%. The hardness， wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy are increased.
Manganese (Mn) : About 2%. The strength and toughness of the alloy are improved.
Silicon (Si) : about 1%. The cold working properties of the alloy are affected.
Carbon (C) : Limited to 0.08%. Control the hardness and strength of the alloy.
Phosphorus (P)， sulfur (S) : All are limited to low levels to avoid negative effects on corrosion and mechanical properties of the alloy.
These chemical components work together to make 321 stainless steel have good corrosion resistance， heat resistance， mechanical strength and good weldability.
