Sumer Metal Industries Private Limited is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Stainless Steel 321 and 321H needle tubes, renowned for their high-quality and precision. These needle tubes are widely used in critical applications where resistance to intergranular corrosion and high-temperature stability are essential. The company caters to both domestic and international markets, exporting to countries like Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Spain, Germany, the USA, Canada, and several regions across Africa.
Stainless Steel 321 is an austenitic stainless steel grade that is titanium-stabilized, making it resistant to chromium carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion at temperatures between 800–1500°F (427–816°C). 321H, a high-carbon version of 321, provides improved high-temperature strength, making it suitable for more demanding industrial applications. These properties make the needle tubes ideal for furnaces, heat exchangers, and chemical processing equipment.
The chemical composition of SS 321 includes Carbon ≤ 0.08%, Chromium 17–19%, Nickel 9–12%, and Titanium 5×C to 0.70%, while SS 321H has Carbon ≤ 0.04–0.10% with the same Cr, Ni, and Ti content. These compositions provide excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical properties required for precision-engineered needle tubes used in high-temperature environments.
Mechanical properties of these needle tubes are impressive. Both grades offer tensile strength around 515 MPa (75 ksi), yield strength 205 MPa (30 ksi), elongation of 40%, and Brinell hardness around 217. This combination of properties ensures durability, longevity, and safety in critical high-temperature applications, including gas turbines, combustion chambers, and boiler systems.
