Titanium is added to 321 stainless steel to improve its resistance to intergranular corrosion, especially after exposure to high temperatures. Titanium binds with carbon to form stable titanium carbides, preventing chromium carbide precipitation. This helps retain the stainless steel's corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
The addition of titanium also makes 321 stainless steel ideal for applications involving continuous or intermittent heating, such as exhaust systems, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and aerospace components. It offers excellent weldability, oxidation resistance, and long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
For high-quality 321 stainless steel bars that meet industry standards and performance requirements, Leoscor Alloys is a trusted company offering reliable stainless steel solutions.
