Hemi Metals, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Stainless Steel 321 Square Bars and Rods, designed for industrial applications that require high-temperature and corrosion resistance. These square bars are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring precise dimensions, a smooth surface finish, and adherence to international quality standards. Known for their exceptional resistance to intergranular corrosion and outstanding performance at elevated temperatures, Hemi Metals’ SS 321 square bars serve various industries, including aerospace, power generation, petrochemical, and heavy engineering, guaranteeing durability, ease of fabrication, and dependable mechanical performance.
Stainless Steel 321 is composed of about 17–19% chromium and 9–12% nickel, with titanium added to prevent carbide precipitation during high-temperature use. This titanium stabilization enhances resistance to intergranular corrosion post-welding. Typically, SS 321 square bars exhibit a tensile strength of around 515 MPa and a yield strength close to 205 MPa, along with impressive ductility and toughness. In their annealed state, these bars are non-magnetic, offer good creep resistance, and maintain stable mechanical properties even at continuous operating temperatures of up to 870°C.
