316Ti Stainless Steel Equivalent Materials Chart

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

In the diverse family of austenitic stainless steels, 316Ti (UNS S31635 or EN 1.4571) is a titanium-stabilized grade renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, making it a preferred choice for applications prone to intergranular corrosion (IGC).

As a leading producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti and its equivalents in various forms, including plates, sheets, bars, and pipes, to industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're sourcing alternatives for a heat exchanger or piping system, understanding 316Ti's equivalents—such as UNS S31635, EN 1.4571, or JIS SUS316Ti—is essential for cost-effective and compliant designs. This guide provides a detailed equivalent materials chart, property comparisons, and practical insights to help you navigate substitutions, based on industry standards and our mill experience.

From our production lines, we've seen equivalents in action: In a 2024 German pharmaceutical project, our EN 1.4571 plates—equivalent to 316Ti—resisted acidic sterilization at 150°C without IGC, matching performance while reducing lead times by 20%. Equivalents like these allow flexibility without sacrificing the grade's core benefits, such as PREN 23-28 and density 8.00 g/cm³. Often spec'd under ASTM A240 /A240M for plates or ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure use, 316Ti's equivalents expand options globally. Let's explore the chart and details to find the right match for your needs.

 

Summary

316Ti stainless steel equivalents include UNS S31635 (U.S.), EN 1.4571 (Europe), JIS SUS316Ti (Japan), and others, all sharing titanium stabilization for high-temp IGC resistance and similar mechanical properties (515 MPa tensile, 205 MPa yield). While equivalents like DIN 1.4571 are nearly identical, minor variations in Ni/Mo can affect pitting in chlorides. Density is consistent at 8.00 g/cm³, with PREN 23-28 for excellent durability. Equivalents allow cost savings (10-15% lower in some regions) but verify specs for critical apps. Gangsteel offers dual-cert stock for seamless swaps.
