Stainless Steel 321 and 321H are austenitic stainless steels known for their exceptional resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments. These alloys are popular choices in various industries, including aerospace, petrochemical, and manufacturing, where performance under extreme conditions is crucial. The production of billets from Stainless Steel 321/321H further extends their utility in diverse applications.
Alloy Composition and Characteristics: Stainless Steel 321 is a stabilized version of 304 stainless steel, featuring additions of titanium to prevent sensitization during welding. The 321H variant contains higher carbon content to enhance high-temperature strength. Both alloys exhibit excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and oxidation up to elevated temperatures.
Billet Production Process: The production of Stainless Steel 321/321H Billets involves a series of carefully controlled processes. The raw material, typically in the form of stainless steel ingots, undergoes hot working through processes like extrusion or rotary piercing to form billets. These billets are then subjected to heat treatment, further refining the microstructure and ensuring the desired mechanical properties.
