Stainless Steel 321 and 321H Nuts are a type of stainless steel alloy made up of chromium, nickel, and titanium. This combination makes them extremely resistant to corrosion and oxidation, so Stainless Steel 321 Nuts can withstand extreme temperatures without becoming damaged or weakened. Stainless Steel 321H Nuts also have high tensile strength, which makes them ideal for both heavy-duty applications as well as lighter applications where extreme durability is still desired.
321 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts have a wide range of uses in both industrial and commercial settings. They are often used in the construction industry due to their high strength, durability, and resistance to temperature extremes. 321 Stainless Steel Nuts can also be used in many other applications ranging from automotive parts to manufacturing equipment and more.
The primary benefit of using ASTM A194 SS 321H Nuts is their resistance to corrosion and oxidation, which means they won’t rust or corrode over time like other types of metals would if exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals. SS 321H Nuts have superior tensile strength compared to other types of metal fasteners, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications such as construction projects or automotive repairs. Additionally, these Stainless Steel UNS S32100 Nuts come in different sizes and shapes, so you can find the perfect fit for your specific application needs.
There are two main types of Stainless Steel 321 Hex Nuts and 321 Nuts: hexagonal shaped ones which have six sides, and round ones which have four sides but no points on the corners (also known as “acorn” shaped). UNS S32100 Nut is typically used when you need something more secure than round ones since there is less room for movement within the threads when it comes time to tighten them down. Stainless Steel 321 Heavy Hex Nuts are generally used for lighter duty applications but can be tightened just as securely with the right tools.

321 stainless steel hex nuts are commonly used in high temperature and corrosive environments such as chemical processing, aerospace, and power generation. They offer excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at temperatures up to 1500°F (816°C) and have good strength & toughness. These nuts are designed to be used with bolts or screws to create a secure threaded connection that can withstand extreme conditions.
