Material Notes:
AK Steel 321 is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel similar to Type 304 but with a titanium addition. This titanium addition reduces or prevents carbide precipitation during welding and in 427 – 816°C service. It also improves the elevated temperature properties of the alloy. AK Steel 321 provides excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion and possesses good creep strength. It is used primarily in applications involving continuous and intermittent service temperatures within the carbide precipitation range of 427 – 816°C.
