Stainless steel 1.4541, AISI 321
What is worth knowing about AISI 321 steel? This material is an austenitic stainless steel with the addition of titanium in its composition, which makes it harder and has better properties. Chrome-nickel stainless steel is elastic but non-magnetic. On the other hand, it is very resistant to intergranular corrosion and operation at elevated temperatures. It works very well in moderately aggressive environments, when working with acids: nitric acid, nitric acid salt, sulphuric acid, acetic acid and phosphoric acid. It also behaves well when working with formic acid or other organic acids. Mechanical properties of AISI 321H stainless steel is mainly due to its high elasticity. Its yield strength is more than 190 N/mm2 and its tensile strength is 500-700 N/mm2. […]
