316Ti Stainless Steel Composition & UNS S31635 Specs

Published: November 8, 2025 | Updated: November 8, 2025By Gangsteel Engineering Team – 25+ Years in Stainless Steel Export Excellence

316Ti stainless steel, designated as UNS S31635 in the Unified Numbering System, EN 1.4571 in European standards, JIS SUS316Ti in Japanese specs, and AISI 316Ti in American nomenclature, is a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade renowned for its corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of ASME SA240 316Ti and ASTM A240 316Ti plates, sheets, and bars to global industries including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're specifying this material for a welded structure or high-heat component, understanding its composition and specs is crucial. This detailed guide covers the chemical composition, UNS S31635 specifications, properties, and comparisons, based on industry standards and our mill data.

From our facilities, we've optimized 316Ti for demanding apps: In a 2024 Australian chemical line, our ASME SA240 Type 316Ti plates maintained specs under acidic heat, with composition ensuring no IGC, as per client audits. Often referenced under ASTM A240 /A240M for general use or ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure vessels, UNS S31635's specs make it a versatile upgrade. Let's explore its composition and specs in detail.

 

Summary

316Ti stainless steel (UNS S31635, EN 1.4571, JIS SUS316Ti, AISI 316Ti) has a composition with C 0.08 max, Cr 16-18%, Mo 2-3%, Ni 10-14%, and Ti 0.70 max for stabilization against IGC. Under specs like ASME SA240 316Ti and ASTM A240 316Ti, it offers tensile 515 MPa min, yield 205 MPa min, elongation 40% min, hardness 95 HRB max, and density 8.00 g/cm³. Compared to 316L, it provides better high-temp durability. Equivalents include DIN 1.4571 and GB 0Cr18Ni12Mo2Ti. Gangsteel stocks 1-200mm thick with full certs for global compliance.

 

Chemical Composition: Stabilized for Superior Performance

The chemical composition of 316Ti stainless steel is engineered to provide enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion through titanium stabilization, while maintaining the molybdenum-boosted pitting resistance of the 316 family. This makes UNS S31635 ideal for environments where welding or high temperatures could otherwise cause sensitization.

Standard chemical composition for UNS S31635 (per ASTM A240, ASME SA240, EN 1.4571, JIS SUS316Ti, AISI 316Ti; % by weight, heat analysis):
