4 Major Grades of Stainless Steel 321 Sheets

Stainless Steel 321 Sheets & 304L are suitable for a variety of applications. They offer good corrosion resistance and ductility at high temperatures. It can be used for various applications, from pressure vessels to chemical processing equipment. They also have good forming properties and easy to fabricate, and provide good oxidation resistance. They are also cost-effective. Stainless Steel 321 is an austenitic 18/8 stainless steel. It is stabilized with titanium additions. It is also available in a higher-carbon version. The titanium addition improves the high-temperature service life of stainless steel. It also prevents chromium carbide formation. Applications can use 321 stainless steel, which requires resistance to chloride solutions. However, cannot use them in sulfuric acid service. The presence of chloride ions may lead to pitting.
