Chemical Processing: In chemical plants, 321 stainless steel is used for outdoor machinery, heat exchangers, and chemical transport vehicles. Its resistance to grain boundary corrosion ensures durability when exposed to acids, solvents, and high-temperature chemical reactions, outperforming non-stabilized grades in long-term reliability.
Petroleum and Coal Industries: Equipment operating in petroleum refineries and coal processing facilities—such as heating furnace components, boiler shells, and pressure vessels—relies on 321 stainless steel. Its ability to withstand elevated temperatures (up to 800°C in continuous service) and resist corrosion from hydrocarbons and impurities makes it a trusted choice.
Power Generation: 321 stainless steel parts are integral to boiler systems, heat exchangers, and steam turbines in power plants. Their heat resistance and corrosion resilience prevent degradation from high-pressure steam and thermal cycling, ensuring efficient energy production.
Automotive and Transportation: Diesel engine silencing components benefit from 321’s heat resistance, as they endure extreme temperatures from exhaust gases. Additionally, chemical transport vehicles use 321 parts to safely contain and transport corrosive materials.
Construction and Infrastructure: Heat-resistant building materials, such as expansion joints in industrial structures, utilize 321 stainless steel. Its formability allows for the creation of flexible components that absorb thermal expansion, while its corrosion resistance ensures longevity in outdoor or harsh environments.
Aerospace and Defense: In aerospace applications, 321 is used for components in jet engines and exhaust systems, where high temperatures and structural integrity are paramount. Its stability under thermal stress makes it suitable for critical parts requiring consistent performance.

321 | 0.08 | 1 | 2 | 0.045 | 0.03 | 17~19 | 9~12 | 5*C%-0.7 | ≥520 | ≥205 | ≥40 |
Q: What makes 321 stainless steel different from 304, and when should I choose 321 instead?
A: 321 contains titanium, which stabilizes the material by binding with carbon, preventing chromium carbide formation during welding or high-temperature exposure—this eliminates intergranular corrosion, a common issue in 304. Choose 321 for applications involving continuous high temperatures (above 425°C), welding without post-weld heat treatment, or exposure to corrosive environments where grain boundary resistance is critical.
Q: Can 321 stainless steel parts be welded, and does welding affect their corrosion resistance?
A: Yes, 321 is highly weldable. Unlike 304, which may develop intergranular corrosion near welds without heat treatment, 321’s titanium stabilization preserves corrosion resistance even after welding. This makes it ideal for welded components in high-temperature or corrosive settings.
Q: What is the maximum temperature 321 stainless steel can withstand?
A: 321 performs reliably in continuous service up to 800°C (1472°F) and intermittent exposure up to 900°C (1652°F). Beyond these temperatures, its strength may decrease, but it retains better oxidation resistance than many other grades.
Q: How precise is your laser cutting for 321 stainless steel parts?
A: Our 20000V laser cutting machines achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.1mm, ensuring precision even for complex geometries. This level of accuracy makes 321 parts suitable for applications requiring exact fits, such as aerospace components or precision machinery.
Q: Do you provide material certifications for 321 stainless steel parts?
A: Yes, we supply certifications verifying 321’s chemical composition, mechanical properties, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASTM). These documents confirm the material’s quality and suitability for your application.
Q: What is the lead time for custom 321 stainless steel parts, and can you handle large-volume orders?
A: Lead times typically range from 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity and quantity. We regularly handle large-volume orders, leveraging our in-house production capacity and material stock to ensure timely delivery without compromising quality.
Q: Can you produce 321 parts with special surface finishes?
A: Absolutely. Our polishing and machining capabilities allow for various surface finishes, from matte to mirror-like, based on your requirements. Specialized finishes can enhance corrosion resistance or improve aesthetic appeal for visible components.
