In the global stainless steel market compliant with ASTM A240/A240M – 316Ti (UNS S31635), ASME SA240/SA240M – 316Ti, EN 10088-2/EN 10095 – X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 (1.4571), GB/T 20878 – 06Cr17Ni12Mo2Ti, JIS G4303 – SUS316Ti, and Swedish SS 2350 – SS 316Ti, ASTM A240 316Ti equivalent grades enable seamless material substitution across international standards for high-temperature and corrosive applications.

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

If you're verifying ASTM A240 316Ti equivalent under ASME SA240/SA240M for a welded reactor or marine piping where cross-standard compliance is key, understanding alternatives like EN 1.4571 or JIS SUS316Ti is vital. This article provides a comprehensive equivalent list for ASTM A240 316Ti, property comparisons, and practical insights, based on ASTM A240/A240M – 316Ti (UNS S31635), ASME SA240/SA240M – 316Ti, EN 10088-2/EN 10095 – X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 (1.4571), GB/T 20878 – 06Cr17Ni12Mo2Ti, JIS G4303 – SUS316Ti, and SS 2350 – SS 316Ti standards and our mill data.

From our production lines, we've facilitated equivalent swaps: In a 2024 UK chemical project, our ASTM A240 316Ti plates under ASTM A240 /A240M matched EN 1.4571 materials for traceability, allowing direct substitution without re-certification, saving 15% on compliance as per client reports. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, ASTM A240 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports equivalent designs. Let's delve into the equivalents, from composition to applications, to guide your global sourcing.

 

Summary

ASTM A240 316Ti equivalentgrades include EN/DIN 1.4571 (X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2), JIS SUS316Ti, BS 320S31, AFNOR Z6CNDT17-12, SS 2350, GOST 08Ch17N13M2T, and GB/T 20878 – 06Cr17Ni12Mo2Ti, all sharing titanium stabilization for IGC resistance, tensile strength 515 MPa min, yield 205 MPa min, and elongation 40% min. Density 8.00 g/cm³, PREN 23-28 across equivalents. Minor range differences (e.g., Ni) don't affect equivalence for most apps under ASME SA240/SA240M and EN 10088. Ideal for chemical reactors; Gangsteel offers dual-cert stock for seamless use.
