In the specialized domain of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, AISI 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose yield strength is a critical property for assessing its load-bearing capacity, deformation resistance, and high-temperature performance in demanding applications.

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

If you're analyzing the yield strength of AISI 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M for structural components or pressure vessels where creep behavior and safety margins are key, this guide provides detailed data. We'll explore the yield strength values, 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 AISI 316Ti's yield strength: In a 2024 U.S. power plant retrofit, our AISI 316Ti bars maintained yield above 220 MPa after 1,000 hours at 600°C, outperforming non-stabilized grades by 25% in creep tests. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, AISI 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

AISI 316Ti stainless steel yield strength under ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M is a minimum of 205 MPa (30 ksi) at room temperature (0.2% offset), with typical values 220-310 MPa in annealed condition and retention >70% at 600°C due to Ti stabilization. Density 8.00 g/cm³, PREN 23-28. Superior to 316L (170 MPa min) in high-temp yield; ideal for boilers. Gangsteel stocks 1-200mm with certs for custom needs.

Chemical Composition: Influence on Yield Strength

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

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

Gangsteel's AISI 316Ti achieves typical yield 250 MPa.

Yield Strength Data: Room Temperature and High-Temp

AISI 316Ti's yield strength data, per ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, is measured at 0.2% offset.

Ti precipitates pin dislocations, boosting yield.

Physical Properties: Context for Yield Data

Physical traits of AISI 316Ti, compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, support yield strength data.

These aid yield data consistency.

Corrosion Resistance: Complementing Yield Strength

316Ti's corrosion resistance, per ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, complements its yield strength by preventing degradation that could reduce effective yield.

• Uniform: <0.1 mm/year in acids.
• IGC: Resistant with Ti.
• SCC: Good in chlorides.
• Pitting: PREN 23-28.

Weldability and Fabrication: Maintaining Yield Data

316Ti is highly weldable per ASTM A240/A240M, with Ti preserving yield strength in HAZ. No preheat.

Gangsteel's 316Ti SA240 Type 316Ti maintains yield post-weld.

Applications: Where Yield Strength Data Matters

316Ti's yield data suits pressure vessels (205 MPa for loads), heat exchangers (high-temp yield).

In Gangsteel's supply to U.S. power, yield data ensured compliance.

FAQ: 316Ti Stainless Steel Yield Strength Data Questions Answered

Q: What is the yield strength of 316Ti stainless steel?

A: The minimum yield strength of 316Ti is 205 MPa (0.2% offset), with typical values 220-300 MPa in annealed state; it retains strength at high temps, dropping <10% at 500°C due to Ti stabilization.

Q: What is the yield strength data at high temperatures for 316Ti?

A: At 600°C, yield strength is typically 150-200 MPa, retaining >70% of RT value; at 800°C, 120-160 MPa, with Ti preventing carbide weakening for better performance than non-stabilized grades.

Q: How does yield strength of 316Ti compare to 316L?

A: 316Ti has higher minimum yield (205 MPa vs 170 MPa for 316L); both similar at RT, but 316Ti retains better at elevated temps due to Ti, with <15% drop at 600°C vs 20% for 316L.

Q: What standards specify yield strength data for 316Ti?

A: ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M specify minimum yield 205 MPa for plates; ASTM A276/A479 for bars confirm similar data, with ASME Section II D providing high-temp yield values.

Q: What is the 0.2% yield strength for 316Ti?

A: The 0.2% offset yield strength for 316Ti is 205 MPa min, measured per ASTM E8, providing a safety margin for deformation in structural apps.

Q: How does temperature affect the yield strength of 316Ti?

A: Yield strength decreases with temperature: RT 205 MPa min, 400°C ~170-220 MPa, 600°C 150-200 MPa; Ti stabilization minimizes loss, retaining >70% up to 815°C.

Q: What is the typical yield strength range for 316Ti?

A: Typical yield strength range for 316Ti is 220-300 MPa in annealed condition, varying by form (higher in bars per A276); Gangsteel's mill data averages 245 MPa for consistent performance.
