AISI 321 · UNS S32100
An SS 321 washer is a flat or spring ring that spreads bolt load. Finished fastener specification not asserted; material and manufacturing route not asserted — alloy (UNS S32100), dimensions and finished requirements are to the purchase specification. Flat washers protect the joint surface and spread load; spring and lock washers resist loosening. Match the washer material to the bolt to avoid galvanic corrosion.

SS 321 Washer: Why 321 for washers
Flat washers protect the joint surface and spread load; spring and lock washers resist loosening. Match the washer material to the bolt to avoid galvanic corrosion. In SS 321, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Stainless fasteners resist atmospheric and process corrosion. SS 321 is picked for high-temperature service between 425 and 815 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Aircraft exhaust — Manifolds, bellows and exhaust systems. |
| Bolting | ASTM A193 B8T studs with A194 8T nuts |
