Published: November 10, 2025 | Updated: November 10, 2025By Gangsteel Engineering Team – 25+ Years in Stainless Steel Export Excellence

In the specialized domain of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose AISI specifications are critical for ensuring high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance in demanding applications.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASTM A240/A240M specs for plates and sheets, to industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're referencing AISI grade specs for 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M for a welded reactor or heat exchanger where composition, mechanicals, and tolerances are key, understanding its details is essential. This article provides a comprehensive AISI grade specs overview for 316Ti, including chemical, mechanical, and physical data, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill tests.

From our production lines, we've seen 316Ti's specs in action: In a 2024 European chemical reactor build, our 316Ti plates under ASTM A240 /A240M met AISI requirements for IGC resistance at 600°C, enabling full compliance without revisions, as per client audits. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports precise specs. Let's delve into the specifications, from composition to testing, to equip you for informed use.
