Stainless Steel 321H Nuts

Stainless Steel 321H Nuts are composed of an alloy of iron, 18-20% chromium, titanium, and nickel. Chromium is the most abundant element in their composition and provides excellent corrosion resistance by forming a protective oxide layer on the surface of the nut. Titanium increases strength and hardness while still maintaining its anti-oxidation qualities. Nickel helps to maintain ductility and reduces long-term stress on the material. Additionally, a small amount of carbon is added to improve strength and hot-forming characteristics. Combined, these elements provide outstanding structural integrity for applications that require frequent exposure to high temperatures or corrosive materials.

321h SS Nuts are highly versatile and can be used for various applications. Its excellent corrosion resistance makes it ideal for outdoor settings, while its strength and hardness make it suitable for high-load applications. Furthermore, the material’s ability to resist chloride attack and stress corrosion cracking provides superior performance in corrosive environments where other stainless steel alloys may fail. SS 321h Nuts also offer good formability, hot workability, and weldability that make them well-suited to various manufacturing processes. As such, these nuts are commonly used in marine equipment and food processing machinery and are an ideal choice for fastener applications.
