321/321H Stainless Steel - Complete Material Specifications & Properties

Stainless Steel 321 and 321H are austenitic, titanium-stabilized stainless steels designed for high-temperature applications. The addition of titanium prevents chromium carbide formation during prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, thereby protecting against intergranular corrosion. The primary distinction is in carbon content: 321H has a higher carbon level, which improves high-temperature strength and creep resistance for long-term service.

Abhinav Overseas is a premier manufacturer and supplier of 321/321H stainless steel products in India, with extensive experience in delivering high-quality materials to global markets. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every product meets the most stringent international quality standards and specifications.

We supply these high-performance alloys in various forms including sheets, plates, pipes, tubes, bars, and custom fabricated components to meet specific industry requirements. Each product undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with international standards.

Our 321/321H stainless steel products are widely used in aerospace, petrochemical processing, power generation, and automotive industries where resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments is critical.
