CarTech® 321 Stainless

Generic Family: Steel - Wrought - Stainless - Austenitic • Supplied by: Carpenter Technology Corporation

CarTech 321 stainless is a titanium stabilized austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel which was developed to provide an 18-8 type alloy with improved intergranular-corrosion resistance. Since titanium has a stronger affinity for carbon than chromium, titanium carbide tends to precipitate randomly within the grains instead of forming continuous patterns at the grain boundaries. Type 321 should be considered for applications requiring intermittent heating between 800°F (427°C) and 1650°F (899°C) such as aircraft collector rings and exhaust manifolds, expansion joints, and high temperature chemical process equipment.
