Stainless Steel 321 foils are ultra-thin, titanium-stabilised austenitic strips, cold rolled to gauges as fine as 0.03 mm and carrying 17 to 19% chromium with 9 to 12% nickel. Titanium added at five times the combined carbon and nitrogen locks carbon into stable carbide, which keeps chromium in solution and blocks intergranular corrosion through the 425 to 815 °C sensitisation band. This stainless steel foil holds oxidation resistance approaching 900 °C, so it wraps heat-treated parts where plain Type 304 would sensitise.
As a trusted Stainless Steel 321 Foil supplier and manufacturer, we slit every foil in-house on our own mills and slitting lines rather than melting the alloy. Stock leaves annealed soft in any width between 3 mm and 2000 mm, held to ±0.1 mm. Buyers choose BA, 2B, matte PVC, or matte surfaces with slit or deburred edges, and test papers travel with each order on request.
