Stainless Steel 321 Fasteners are titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S32100 material. They offer excellent resistance to oxidation, corrosion and intergranular corrosion after exposure to elevated temperatures. SS 321 fasteners are commonly used for high-temperature piping, petrochemical, power generation, aerospace, heat exchanger and industrial equipment applications.
SS 321 is stabilized with titanium to minimize chromium carbide precipitation during high-temperature service. This makes it a suitable choice where fasteners are exposed to elevated temperatures and repeated heating and cooling cycles.
We supply a wide range of SS 321 Fasteners, including bolts, nuts, stud bolts, threaded rods, screws, washers and socket head cap screws in standard and customized dimensions.
Stainless Steel 321 Fasteners – ASTM A193 B8T Bolts & Stud Bolts
Stainless Steel 321 is an austenitic stainless steel grade developed for applications where both corrosion resistance and elevated-temperature performance are required. Its titanium stabilization provides improved resistance to intergranular corrosion compared with unstabilized grades when exposed to certain temperature ranges.
Our 321 Stainless Steel Fasteners are available according to international specifications and customer drawings. Depending on the application, they can be supplied with different head styles, thread configurations, dimensions, finishes and testing requirements.
Common designations include:
- UNS S32100
- EN 1.4541
- DIN 1.4541
- BS 321S31
- GOST 08Ch18N10T
- ASTM A193 Grade 321 / B8T-type bolting specifications, where applicable
- ASME SA193 requirements for pressure-temperature applications

Key Features and Benefits of SS 321 Fasteners
- Titanium-Stabilized Construction: Titanium is added to 321 stainless steel to stabilize carbon and reduce chromium carbide precipitation during elevated-temperature exposure.
- High-Temperature Performance: SS 321 fasteners are suitable for components exposed to elevated temperatures, thermal cycling and oxidation.
- Corrosion Resistance: They provide good general corrosion resistance and are particularly useful in many chemical, petrochemical and industrial environments.
- Good Strength and Toughness: The austenitic structure provides a useful combination of strength, ductility and toughness.
- Suitable for Fabricated Equipment: 321 fasteners can be used with piping, vessels, heat exchangers, exhaust systems and fabricated industrial equipment.
- Long-Term Reliability: Correctly specified and installed fasteners can provide dependable bolted connections in demanding service conditions.
