Product Overview
SS 321 screws are austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from stabilized grade 321 (UNS S32100) bar stock, conforming to ASTM A193 and ASTM F593 standards. Alloy 321 is titanium-stabilized, providing superior resistance to intergranular corrosion and carbide precipitation during welding or high-temperature service. These screws are ideal for bolted joints exposed to continuous temperatures up to 870°C, where standard 304/316 grades may fail due to sensitization.
SS 321 screws are widely specified for exhaust manifolds, heat exchangers, and process piping in refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities. Their excellent oxidation resistance and mechanical stability make them a preferred choice for high-temperature bolted assemblies.
