Bosega Pipes and Tubes, located in Cape Town, South Africa, stands out as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 321 and 321H Seamless Pipes. These pipes are engineered to deliver high-performance solutions for applications that demand resistance to extreme temperatures and intergranular corrosion. With a focus on precision and rigorous quality control, Bosega’s seamless pipes are perfect for tough industrial sectors like aerospace, petrochemical, thermal processing, and power generation. Renowned for their consistent dimensional accuracy, strength, and excellent weldability, the 321 and 321H pipes comply with international standards, making them ideal for both high-pressure and high-temperature settings.
Stainless Steel 321 is an austenitic stainless steel that’s stabilized with titanium, which effectively prevents carbide precipitation during welding and exposure to high temperatures. This characteristic gives it remarkable resistance to intergranular corrosion. On the other hand, 321H is a high-carbon variant of 321, specifically crafted to enhance creep strength and maintain structural stability at elevated temperatures exceeding 538°C (1000°F). Both grades boast impressive mechanical properties, good oxidation resistance, and outstanding performance in thermal cycling applications. The seamless design eliminates welded seams, which boosts strength and pressure resistance while minimizing the risk of failure in critical service environments.
