Stainless austenitic chromium-nickel steel stabilised with titanium
The material 321 is a stainless austenitic chromium-nickel steel which has excellent resistance to aggressive media. Due to the balanced proportion of chromium and nickel, the steel has an austenitic structure. It offers good oxidation resistance in air up to about 900 °C; when operated in carbon dioxide, it is 650 °C.
