Stainless Steel 321H Channels

The chemical composition of 321H Stainless Steel Channels consists of iron, nickel, chromium, titanium, and molybdenum as its main elements. The high nickel and chromium content provide excellent corrosion resistance, while the addition of titanium enhances intergranular corrosion resistance and stabilizes the material against sensitization during welding. The addition of molybdenum provides improved strength and increased resistance to reducing atmospheres. The composition is designed to balance corrosion resistance, strength, and weldability, making it ideal for various industrial applications. The carbon content of the material is slightly higher than other grades of stainless steel, contributing to its improved high-temperature strength and elevated creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

SS 321H Channels are widely used in high-temperature applications, such as power generation, heat exchangers, and furnace parts, due to their stability against sensitization and high corrosion resistance. The slightly higher carbon content of the material contributes to its improved high-temperature strength and elevated creep resistance, making it suitable for use in elevated-temperature applications. The material also exhibits good weldability, making it ideal for high-pressure systems where leaks can be catastrophic. Additionally, the combination of excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and toughness makes it suitable for various industrial applications where the combination of these properties is required. The material is also highly resistant to intergranular corrosion, making it an ideal choice in corrosive environments such as chemical processing and petrochemical industries.
