Chung Metal produces high-performance Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bars/Rods, a high-carbon alloy of SS 321 for higher creep resistance and strength at elevated temperatures. SS 321H is commonly used where there is prolonged exposure to heat and mechanical loading. Hexagonal shape gives extra grip and torque in assemblies and fittings. Chung Metal uses precision tolerances and uniform mechanical properties in all 321H hex bars produced, which are well adapted for high-heat service and demanding structural environments like boilers, refinery equipment, and aerospace structures.
SS 321H is composed of 17–19% chromium and 9–13% nickel along with titanium, with a carbon level between 0.04–0.10%. It provides better high-temperature strength than regular 321. The tensile strength is 550–750 MPa, yield strength is 200–300 MPa, and elongation is 30–40%. It has outstanding oxidation resistance up to 900°C. The hex bar profile provides structural stability and torque compatibility for mechanical connections. It is non-magnetic and very weldable. Chung Metal offers 321H hex rods of multiple lengths and conditions for thermal, mechanical, and welded assemblies.

SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods are highly resistant to oxidation and intergranular corrosion due to titanium stabilization, making them ideal for high-temperature environments. They offer excellent strength, durability, and resistance to sulfur compounds, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions.
SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They are ideal for high-temperature applications such as heat exchangers, pressure vessels, exhaust systems, and furnace components due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
SS 321H Hex Bars/Rods can be welded easily, thanks to their titanium stabilization, which prevents sensitization and intergranular corrosion. However, it's essential to use low-carbon filler materials to maintain the material's properties and prevent carbide precipitation. Pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment may be required for optimal results.
321H hex bars are applied in re-heater tubes, high-pressure boilers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and high-temperature piping. Their high carbon enhances stress rupture and creep resistance, which is needed in aerospace engines, petrochemical plants, and thermal processing lines. The hex shape facilitates fabrication of machined fittings, torque-driven fasteners, and structural joints. 321H is particularly ideal for structures welded and undergoing prolonged thermal cycles. Chung Metal offers these rods in industrial-grade finishes and customizable length to underpin high-temperature infrastructure with the highest level of strength and dimension stability.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
