Product Details
Cold rolled 321 stainless steel plate
In metallurgy, stainless steel plate, also known as Inox steel or Inox from French Inoxydable
(inoxidizable), is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass；Stainless steels are notable for their corrosion resistance, which increases with increasing chromium content. Additions of molybdenum increase corrosion resistance in reducing acids and against pitting attack in chloride solutions; Thus, there are numerous grades of stainless steel with varying chromium and molybdenum contents to suit the environment the alloy must endure.

Understanding 321 Stainless Steel:
321 stainless steel is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel alloy, designed to provide improved resistance to intergranular corrosion and oxidation in high-temperature environments. The stabilization is achieved through the addition of titanium, which forms carbides that inhibit chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries during exposure to elevated temperatures. This ensures the retention of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, even in challenging conditions.
There are four main families, which are primarily classified by their crystalline structure:
Austenitic stainless steel
200 Series: 201, 202
300 Series: 304, 304L, 309S, 310S, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 317L, 321, 347
Ferritic stainless steels
409L, 430, 436, 439, 441, 444, 446
Martensitic stainless steels
410, 410S, 416, 420J1, 420J2, 431、440,17-4PH
Duplex and Special Stainless: S31803, S32205, S32750, 630, 904L

Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, and familiar lustre make it an ideal material for many applications where both the strength of steel and corrosion resistance are required, as Architecture, Bridges, Art, Monuments and Sculptures, Cookware, Railway vehicle parts etc.
Composition:
The composition of 321 stainless steel typically includes iron as the primary element, along with chromium, nickel, and a stabilizing addition of titanium.
Manganese, silicon, and small amounts of other alloying elements may also be present to enhance specific properties. The key components are:
Chromium (17-19%): Provides excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against oxidizing environments.
Nickel (9-12%): Enhances ductility, toughness, and resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
Titanium (5 times carbon content): Stabilizes the alloy and prevents chromium carbide precipitation, ensuring intergranular corrosion resistance.
Characteristics:
321 stainless steel boasts a range of remarkable characteristics that make it a preferred choice in various applications:
Corrosion Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to corrosion in both oxidizing and reducing environments, including intergranular corrosion.
High Temperature Stability: Maintains its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
