321 stainless steel

321 stainless steel forgings are critical for high-temperature and corrosive environments, combining titanium stabilization, oxidation resistance, and mechanical durability. Their compliance with stringent international standards ensures reliability in aerospace, energy, and chemical industries.

Descriptions

1. Chemical Composition

The titanium content in 321 stainless steel (≥5×C% by weight) stabilizes the alloy against sensitization. Below is the detailed chemical composition:

2. Mechanical Properties

321 stainless steel forgings exhibit excellent mechanical properties at both room temperature and elevated temperatures. Typical values in the annealed condition are:
