Steel name: AISI 321 Stainless Steel
Diagram No.: 2955
Type of diagram: TTS
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.09% C, 1.17% Mn, 0.37% Si, 13.40% Ni, 18.10% Cr,
0.51% Ti, 0.017% N.
Note: Precipitation diagram. Time-temperature sensitization and intergranular corrosion.
Specimens were solution annealed at 1200
oC (2192
oF) for 30 min, water quenched
and then aged at 600, 700, 800 and 900
oC (1112, 1292, 1472 and 1652
oF) for 1, 4, 16
and 100 h followed by water quenching Corrosion testing was performed with the boiling
copper sulphate-sulphuric acid solution (Strauss test) for 72 h. Strip specimens were
bent 90
o and evaluated for cracks. Legend: 0=no cracks (at 20X), 1=few fine cracks
(at 20X), 2=many fine cracks (at 20X), 3=few coarse, many fine cracks (at 20X), 4=many
coarse cracks (at 20X), 5=many coarse cracks (at 10X), 6=cracks visible at 1X. Plot of
sensitizing data for a type 321 steel (0.09% C-0.50% Ti) orginally water quenched
