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 yield strength data is essential for assessing its performance in load-bearing and high-temperature 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 analyzing yield strength data for 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M for structural components or pressure vessels where deformation resistance and creep behavior are critical, this guide provides detailed insights. We'll explore 316Ti's yield strength data, influencing factors, and comparisons, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill tests.

From our production lines, we've documented 316Ti's yield strength data: In a 2024 U.S. power plant retrofit, our 316Ti bars under ASTM A276 – Type 316Ti maintained yield strength above 220 MPa after 1,000 hours at 600°C, outperforming non-stabilized grades by 25% in creep tests, as per client strain measurements. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports accurate calculations. Let's delve into the yield strength data, from composition to high-temp performance, to equip you for informed decisions.

Summary

316Ti stainless steel yield strength data under ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M shows a minimum of 205 MPa (30 ksi) at room temperature, with typical values 220-300 MPa in annealed condition and retention >80% at 600°C due to Ti stabilization. Density 8.00 g/cm³, PREN 23-28. Superior to 316L in high-temp yield (205 vs 170 MPa min); ideal for boilers. Gangsteel stocks 1-200mm with certs for custom needs.

Chemical Composition: Influence on Yield Strength

The chemical composition of 316Ti, as specified in ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, is optimized for high yield strength, with titanium contributing to stability without hardening.

N and Mo contribute ~20-30 MPa to yield; Ti prevents loss in heat.

Gangsteel's 316Ti achieves typical yield 250 MPa.
