Stainless Steel 321H Tubing is a high-carbon variant of titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel, specifically crafted for high-temperature applications that demand superior creep strength and long-lasting durability. The increased carbon content in 321H enhances its mechanical performance at elevated temperatures, making it a top choice for heat exchangers, superheaters, and high-pressure steam systems. This tubing boasts impressive resistance to oxidation and intergranular corrosion, even after extended exposure to heat. Its excellent weldability and formability make it a go-to option in industries where reliable performance under thermal stress is crucial.
The chemical makeup of Stainless Steel 321H features 17–19% chromium, 9–12% nickel, and a higher carbon content that ranges from 0.04% to 0.10%. It also includes titanium in an amount at least five times that of the carbon content, which helps stabilize the alloy against carbide precipitation during welding and high-temperature exposure. The tubing provides a tensile strength of about 515 MPa and a yield strength of roughly 205 MPa, along with good ductility and resistance to scaling up to 900°C (1650°F). These mechanical properties make 321H tubing a dependable choice for pressure-containing components in thermal environments.
