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 application examples demonstrate its versatility in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
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 exploring application examples for 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M for components like heat exchangers or marine fittings where real-world performance is key, this article provides detailed cases and insights. We'll delve into practical examples, from chemical processing to marine engineering, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.
From our production lines, we've seen 316Ti's applications in action: In a 2024 U.S. chemical reactor retrofit, our 316Ti plates under ASTM A240 /A240M withstood 600°C acidic heat without IGC, extending service by 25% compared to non-stabilized grades, as per client case studies. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports lightweight designs. Let's delve into the application examples, from industry-specific uses to success stories, to illustrate its value.
316Ti stainless steel, compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, shines in application examples like chemical reactors (IGC resistance at 425-815°C), marine piping (pitting in chlorides), pharmaceutical equipment (non-reactive for sterilization), and power generation boilers (creep strength up to 815°C). Its Ti stabilization, PREN 23-28, tensile 515 MPa min, and density 8.00 g/cm³ make it durable and versatile. Compared to 316L, it excels in heat; to 321, with better pitting. Examples include 30% life extension in heat exchangers. Gangsteel stocks 1-200mm with certs for custom applications.
The chemical composition of 316Ti, as per ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, is tailored for its application examples, with titanium ensuring stability in heat-corrosives.
