321 Stainless Steel Round Bar – Premium Product Introduction
Grade & Chemistry
AISI 321 is a titanium-stabilised austenitic stainless steel (UNS S32100 / EN 1.4541). Ti ≥ 5×(C+N) ties up carbon and prevents chromium-carbide precipitation during welding or long-term exposure to 427–816 °C, giving the bar immunity to inter-granular corrosion without post-weld anneal .
