In the specialized domain of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A276 – Type 316Ti and ASTM A479/A479M – Type 316Ti standards, 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose bar specifications are optimized for high-temperature and corrosive service in industries requiring precision machining and durability.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASTM A276 specs for bars and shapes, to sectors like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're sourcing 316Ti bar specs under ASTM A479/A479M – Type 316Ti for components like valve stems or shafts where strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability are critical, understanding the detailed specifications is essential. This article explores 316Ti bar specs, properties, and insights, based on ASTM A276 – Type 316Ti and ASTM A479/A479M – Type 316Ti standards and our mill data.

From our production lines, we've seen 316Ti bar specs in action: In a 2024 European valve manufacturing project, our 316Ti bars under ASTM A240 /A240M (complementary to A276) provided superior IGC resistance, enabling tight tolerances and long service life, as per client feedback. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for related apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports efficient bar designs. Let's delve into the specifications, from composition to stock options, to guide your sourcing.
