Sadiki Metals, located in Kinshasa, Congo, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of premium stainless steel products, including Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bars and Rods. Known for their precision, durability, and resistance to high-temperature corrosion, these bars and rods are designed to meet the rigorous standards of various industries. Thanks to its titanium stabilization, Stainless Steel 321H maintains enhanced stability in high-temperature settings, making it a perfect choice for applications in chemical processing, aerospace, and power generation. At Sadiki Metals, we ensure that every hex bar and rod provides consistent performance, dimensional stability, and reliability for both industrial and commercial uses.
Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bars and Rods are made from a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel that contains 17–19% chromium, 9–13% nickel, and a higher carbon content than 321 (0.04–0.10%) to boost high-temperature strength. The addition of titanium helps prevent intergranular corrosion during welding. These bars and rods boast a tensile strength of about 515–750 MPa and a yield strength of around 205–275 MPa, with elongation exceeding 40%. They offer outstanding resistance to oxidation, scaling, and high-temperature corrosion, ensuring durability and mechanical stability even in elevated temperatures and chemically aggressive environments.

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.
Stainless Steel 321H Hex Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries where high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance are essential. Common applications include chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, furnace components, turbine shafts, and boiler parts. They are also utilized in aerospace, petrochemical, and power generation equipment, where materials face thermal cycling and harsh environments. The excellent weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion make 321H hex bars and rods a reliable choice for these demanding applications.
