SS321 is not a Casting Grade in ASTM A351 and A743 standard, just listed in ASTM A182 and ASTM A240. SS321 contains titanium for chromium carbide stabilization. Generally Ti will oxidize rapidly in the melt if exposed to air in typical sand/investment casting processes, but based on the little content, it’s no problem in our Casting process.
We will follow the SS321 Casting material as below standard.

Why Choose Stainless Steel 321? www.castingquality.com
Sometime, SS321 is basic austenitic stainless steel 304 with Titanium content, but SS321 has better property in application in temperature up to 900°C. Titanium gives it greater inter-granular corrosion resistance; this grades perform well in the 425-900 °C range. 304L is not good for high temperature strength, mainly for resistance to intergranular corrosion.
