In the dynamic market of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, the pricing of 316Ti bar and rod stock reflects its premium value for high-temperature and corrosive resistance, making it a staple for precision engineering.
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, marine, and manufacturing.
If you're budgeting for 316Ti bar and rod under ASME SA240/SA240M where costs, availability, and performance are key, understanding 2025 pricing trends is essential. This article explores 316Ti bar and rod pricing, factors influencing costs, and practical insights, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.
From our production lines, we've tracked 316Ti pricing: In a 2024 European manufacturing upgrade, our 316Ti rods under ASTM A240 /A240M provided value at competitive rates, saving clients 15% on high-temp durable stock, as per procurement reports. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports cost-efficient designs. Let's delve into the pricing, from composition to market trends, to guide your purchase.
316Ti bar and rod pricing in 2025 ranges from $4,800-6,300 per ton FOB China for diameters 6-200mm, with thinner rods (6-50mm) at the lower end and thicker (51-200mm) at the higher due to processing. Factors like Ti/Mo alloy costs and demand from marine apps drive prices, up 5-10% from 2024. Density 8.00 g/cm³, tensile 515 MPa min. Equivalent to EN 1.4571; 20-30% higher than 304 but value in heat. Gangsteel offers mill-direct pricing with certs for custom diameters.
The chemical composition of 316Ti, as specified in ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, includes premium alloys like titanium and molybdenum, contributing to bar and rod pricing.

These under ASTM A240/A240M support 316Ti's bar and rod pricing as value-driven.
316Ti's corrosion resistance, per ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, justifies its bar and rod pricing with Ti preventing IGC.
316Ti is highly weldable per ASTM A240/A240M, with Ti reducing PWHT cost for bar and rod joints. Fillers ER316L; good for price-sensitive fab.
Gangsteel's SA240 316Ti saves on fab for bars and rods.
316Ti bar and rod pricing suits chemical shafts (high value in heat), marine rods (durability payback).
In Gangsteel's supply to U.S. offshore, 316Ti bar pricing yielded 25% savings in life cycle.
Equivalents: EN 1.4571 (similar bar/rod pricing). For A240 GR 316Ti, equivalents lower cost.
