Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter in India
Mcneil Instruments is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, stockist, and exporter of Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings in India, offering advanced piping solutions for high-temperature and high-stress environments. Stainless Steel 321 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion after exposure to temperatures in the chromium carbide precipitation range (427–816°C).
These pipe fittings are ideal for applications involving continuous and intermittent service in environments where heat resistance is critical—such as aerospace, heat exchangers, chemical processing plants, and refinery systems. The addition of titanium in 321 helps in maintaining structural stability, especially in welded environments, making it superior to standard 304 in high-heat situations. Due to its strong mechanical properties, Stainless Steel 321 pipe fittings are extensively used in pressure vessels, exhaust manifolds, and expansion joints.

Frequently Asked Questions – Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings
What are Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings? ?
Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings are titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steels designed to resist intergranular corrosion caused by carbide precipitation during welding.
How is SS 321 different from SS 304?
While both are austenitic stainless steels, SS 321 contains titanium, which stabilizes the alloy and prevents carbide formation, giving it better performance at high temperatures.
Where are Stainless Steel 321 Pipe Fittings used?
They are widely used in aerospace, chemical processing, refinery equipment, furnace components, and exhaust systems, where resistance to heat and oxidation is essential.
