Stainless steel 321 pipes consist primarily of iron with a slightly higher chromium content than other stainless steel pipes. This allows these pipes to contain higher amounts of nickel, carbon, and titanium, which contributes to their corrosion-resistant qualities. Its unique chemical composition gives it increased resistance to intergranular corrosion even after exposure to high temperatures and its ability to withstand scaling at elevated temperatures. Stainless steel 321 pipes are the preferred choice for many applications due to their superior performance over other materials, such as carbon steel. They can have a longer lifespan in the right environment than other pipe materials while still providing strength.

321 SS pipes are increasingly becoming essential in our daily lives. This robust metal material combines nickel and chromium, providing it with excellent oxidation and corrosion-resistant properties. It can be commonly seen in diverse industries such as energy, oil, and gas, marine environments, water treatment systems, chemical processing plants, automotive components, food processing, and storage, among many others. Thanks to the fantastic durability offered by SS 321 pipes, they can safely handle medium-range temperatures between 1600F to 2000F. In addition to its general hardiness, this specific grade of stainless steel can also be used for welding due to its good formability in various sizes and shapes.

FAQ's for Stainless Steel 321 Pipes

Stainless Steel 321 Pipes Start From Rs. 250/Kilogram To Rs. 300/Kilogram

The minimum bend radius for Stainless Steel 321 pipes is 1.5 to 2 times the outside diameter of the pipe.

The tolerances of stainless steel 321 pipes depend on their size and wall thickness but are normally +/- 10% on their outer diameter (OD) and 0.25mm-1.6mm on their wall thickness (WT).

To weld 321 stainless steel, you can use any of the welding methods suitable for stainless steel. Some common methods include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), and tungsten inert gas welding (TIG).  321 stainless steel welding is usually welded with a type 347 filler; as SS are simple metallurgical alloys the mechanical properties of a material at room temperature do not significantly change due to variations in the welding process.
