Grade 321 / 321H UNS (S32100, S32109), DIN (1.4541, 1.4878)
Stainless steel 321/321H forged fittings are made of austenitic stainless steel with 17-19% chromium and 9-12% nickel, with titanium added to stabilize the system The main difference between 321 and 321H is the increased carbon content of 321H internally, increasing the strength at higher temperatures . These fittings exhibit excellent resistance to oxidation, corrosion and intergranular corrosion, especially in high-temperature environments. Mechanical properties include tensile strength of 505-725 MPa, yield strength of 205-310 MPa, and elongation of 40-50%. Their thermal resistance and stability make them ideal for high temperature applications.
