Type 321 contains titanium to tie up the carbon and avoid chromium carbide precipitation in welding.
Type 347 – 348 have columbium tantalum added to tie up the carbon and avoid chromium carbide precipitation in welding. Us
These two alloys are remarkably similar—but there is one key difference. In grade 304 stainless, the maximum carbon content
This difference of 0.05% carbon content produces a slight, but marked, difference in the performances of the two alloys.
extra-low carbon
s, the maximum carbon content is set at 0.08%, whereas grade 304L stainless steel has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. The “L” in 304
