Choice of SS material
Choice of SS material
(OP)
Hello to all,
At a temperature of 600°C (1112°F), which material is the better for use? SS304 or SS321.

IF a little sensitisation wouldn't hurt then 304L should be fine. But if corosion (pitting or CSCC) are concerns remember that they are both accelerated by sensitization. In that case the 321 would have some advantages.

Corrosion never sleeps, but it can be managed.

- if sensitization is not an issue, SS304 would be just fine. However, either use 304H or 304 with minimum carbon content of 0.04%.
- If sensitization is indeed an issue (which means that you require high corrosion resistance as well), go for SS321.
