321 Stainless Steel Strips Suppliers

321 stainless steel strips have the following differences compared to 304 stainless steel strips:

Different chemical composition: 321 stainless steel strips have added titanium elements, while 304 stainless steel strips do not.
Different corrosion resistance: 321 stainless steel strips have better corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel strips, especially in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Different high-temperature resistance: 321 stainless steel strips have better high-temperature resistance than 304 stainless steel strips, which can be used for a long time at high temperatures without deformation or melting.
Different scenarios: Because the 321 stainless steel strips have better corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, so in some special use scenarios, such as petrochemical, aerospace, medical equipment, and other fields, 321 stainless steel strips are more commonly used. While 304 stainless steel strips are more suitable for general industrial and civil fields.

The processing methods of 321 stainless steel strips include the following:

Cutting: 321 stainless steel strips are cut to the desired length or shape using cutting tools.
Bending: 321 stainless steel strips are bent into the desired shape by heating and mechanical treatment, such as pipe bending.
Stamping: Using stamping tools to press the 321 stainless steel strips into the desired shape, such as plates, trays, etc.
Stretching: Stretching the 321 stainless steel strips into the desired shape or length.
Welding: 321 stainless steel strips are joined together by welding to form larger components.

321 stainless steel strips have the following differences compared to 316 stainless steel strips:

Chemical Composition: 321 stainless steel strips have added titanium elements, while 316 stainless steel strips have added molybdenum elements.
Heat Resistance: 321 stainless steel strips have better heat resistance at high temperatures than 316 stainless steel strips and can be used for long periods of time at temperatures up to 816°C.
Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel strips have better corrosion resistance than 321 stainless steel strips, especially in the presence of chloride ions.
Strength: The strength of the 321 stainless steel strips is higher than that of the 316 stainless steel strips, especially at high temperatures.
Processing Performance: Due to the addition of titanium elements, 321 stainless steel strips have better welding performance than 316 stainless steel strips.

The following are recommendations for maintaining and caring for 321 stainless steel strips:

Regular Cleaning: 321 stainless steel strips in use will be eroded by dust, grease, dirt, etc. Regular cleaning can prevent corrosion and rusting.

Avoid Contact with Strong Acids and Alkali: 321 stainless steel strips are not suitable for prolonged contact with strong acids and alkalis and should be avoided when in use.

Prevent Collision: When handling and using, care should be taken to prevent collision and friction between 321 stainless steel strips and other items to avoid surface scratches and damage.

Pay Attention to the Use Environment: 321 stainless steel strips are suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, but when used in high temperatures, humidity, corrosion, and other harsh environments, corresponding measures should be taken to protect them.

Regular Inspections: Regularly check the surface condition of the 321 stainless steel strips, and deal with the problems found in time to ensure its normal service life.

In short, the correct use and maintenance of 321 stainless steel strips can extend their service life and improve economic efficiency.
