Is a 321 SS austenitic?

Alloy 321 (UNS S32100) is a titanium stabilized austenitic stainless steel with good general corrosion resistance.

What are the 3 types of stainless steel?

The Three Primary Types of Stainless Steel

Austenitic stainless steel. There are two main characteristics of this type of stainless steel.
Ferritic Stainless Steel. This type of stainless steel is the second most common type of alloy and is also magnetic.
Martensitic Stainless Steel.

Why is austenitic stainless steel called by that name?

The term austenite is used to describe a face-centered cubic (FCC) iron or steel alloys that have this type of structure. It was named after Sir William Chandler Roberts-Austen, an Englishman known for his studies of the physical properties of metals.

When to use 321 stainless steel tubing and plate?

In addition, it’s used for equipment that is operated between 800 and 1500°F. 321 is available in round bar, plate, pipe, sheet, tubing, coil and pipe. For any 321 stainless steel needs please call Michlin Metals. Please contact us to request a quote.

What kind of weld is 321 stainless steel?

321 stainless is readily welded by all common methods including submerged arc. Appropriate weld fillers are AWS ER347 bare wire and E347 covered electrodes. 321 stainless is similar in machinability to 304 stainless steel.

What kind of stainless steel is used in aerospace tubing?

321 stainless aerospace tubing is made from an austenitic stainless steel offering an excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion following exposure to temperatures in the chromium carbide precipitation range from 800 to 1500°F (427 to 816°C). Alloy 321 stainless steel is resistant to chromium carbide formation due to the addition of titanium.
