321 / 321H Stainless Steel Pipe
321/321H stainless steel pipe is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel known for its exceptional high-temperature resistance and resistance to intergranular corrosion.It is an improved version of tuyau en acier inoxydable 304;the addition of titanium allows it to maintain good chemical stability within the carbide precipitation temperature range of 427°C to 816°C (800°F to 1500°F).
Heat Treatment of 321 / 321H Stainless Steel Pipe
Recuit de la solution
- Température :
Heat to 950°C – 1120°C (1750℉ – 2050 ℉). - Process:
Hold for a time dependent on thickness,followed by rapid cooling (water quenching or forced air) to prevent carbide precipitation. - Purpose:
Dissolves any precipitated carbides back into the austenite matrix.
Soulagement du stress
- Température :
700℃ (1290℉) for 1 to 2 hours. - Caution:
Prolonged heating in the 425℃ to 815℃ range can slightly reduce corrosion resistance if the material was not properly stabilized beforehand.
Stabilization Treatment
- Température :
845℃ to 900℃(1550℉ to 1650℉). - Process:
Hold at this temperature for several hours (typically 2–4 hours). - Purpose:
This allows the Titanium to react with any remaining carbon to form Titanium Carbides (TiC).By “tying up” the carbon with titanium,it prevents the formation of chromium carbides,ensuring maximum resistance to Intergranular Corrosion (IGC) in severe service conditions.
Specific Requirements for 321H
- Grain Size:
To meet 321H specifications (ASTM A312),the solution annealing temperature must be high enough (typically above 1040℃) to ensure a coarse grain size (ASTM No. 7 or coarser). - Mechanical Strength:
The higher carbon content (0.04 – 0.10%) requires precise temperature control to balance strength and ductility at temperatures exceeding 537℃ (1000℉).
