Product Overview

What are SS 321 Bolts?

SS 321 bolts are austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S32100 bar stock, conforming to ASTM A193/A194 and ASTM A276 standards. Alloy 321 is stabilized with titanium (Ti) to prevent intergranular corrosion after welding, making it ideal for high-temperature bolted joints and exhaust systems.

With excellent resistance to oxidation up to 870°C and immunity to carbide precipitation, SS 321 bolts are widely specified for petrochemical, thermal processing, and aerospace applications where standard 304/316 stainless steel bolts would fail due to sensitization or scaling.

Material Chemistry

SS 321 Chemical Composition

SS 321 Bolts are manufactured from an iron-chromium-nickel alloy with chromium (16–26%), nickel (8–28%), and grade-specific molybdenum additions per ASTM and ASTM A193/A194. Chromium content governs the self-healing passive oxide film; molybdenum (2–6%) enhances chloride pitting resistance; and carbon content determines sensitization risk in welded assemblies.

Why SS 321 Alloy Composition Matters for Bolts

Titanium Stabilization — Prevents Sensitization
Titanium in SS 321 binds carbon, preventing chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries during welding or high-temperature service. This ensures bolts retain corrosion resistance after fabrication and in thermal cycling environments.
High Chromium & Nickel — Oxidation Resistance
The 17–19% chromium and 9–12% nickel content provide robust resistance to scaling and oxidation up to 870°C, making SS 321 bolts ideal for exhaust manifolds, furnace doors, and heat exchanger flanges.
Low Carbon — Maintains Ductility
Low carbon content ensures SS 321 bolts remain ductile and tough, even after long-term exposure to elevated temperatures, reducing the risk of brittle failure in critical bolted joints.
