In the competitive stainless steel market of 2025, 316Ti— a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade known for high-temperature corrosion resistance—continues to see steady demand from industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

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, helping clients navigate pricing fluctuations.

If you're budgeting for a chemical reactor or exhaust system, understanding 316Ti's price per kg in China is essential amid raw material volatility. This guide analyzes 2025 prices, trends, and factors, based on market data and our mill insights.

From our production, we've kept 316Ti competitive: In Q3 2025, our exports to European pharma plants held at $3.5-4.5 per kg FOB, enabling 15% savings vs. EU suppliers, as per client reports. Often spec'd under ASTM A240 /A240M for general use or ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure vessels, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ and PREN 23-28 add value. Prices per kg in China range from $3.90-7.20 FOB, influenced by thickness and certs. Let's break down the details for informed sourcing.

Summary

316Ti stainless steel price per kg in China for 2025 is $3.90-7.20 FOB, depending on form, thickness, quantity, and certifications like ASME SA240 316Ti or ASTM A240 316Ti. This is up 5-10% from 2024 due to nickel/molybdenum costs but remains competitive vs. global ($5-9/kg in EU/USA). Thin sheets (1-10mm) at lower end ($3.90-5.00/kg), heavy plates (50+mm) higher ($5.50-7.20/kg).Demand from renewables drives stability, with Gangsteel's mill-direct at $3.2-3.8/kg for stock. Equivalents like EN 1.4571 or JIS SUS316Ti price similarly. For high-temp apps, 316Ti's value justifies the cost.

2025 Price Range for 316Ti Stainless Steel Per Kg in China

Based on current market data, 316Ti prices in China are influenced by global alloy surcharges and domestic production capacity.

• Plates/Sheets (1-50mm): $3.90-5.50 per kg FOB – Standard for cladding; thinner lower due to yield.
• Heavy Plates (51-200mm): $5.50-7.20 per kg FOB – Premium for forging and certs.
• Bars/Pipes/Fittings: $4.50-6.50 per kg FOB – Varies by diameter; custom higher.

Prices are FOB Shanghai/Tianjin; add $0.05-0.15/kg for sea freight to EU/USA. Compared to 316L ($2.8-3.8/kg), 316Ti is 20-30% higher due to Ti, but worth it for high-temp durability. Gangsteel's integrated chain offers $3.2-3.8/kg for standard ASME SA240 316Ti stock.

Factors Driving 2025 Prices

1. Raw Materials: Ni ($18,000-20,000/ton) and Mo up 10%; 40% of cost.
2. Demand: Renewables/offshore boost +5%; China production 35M tons caps rises.
3. Certs/Custom: ASME SA240 316Ti adds $0.2-0.5/kg; equivalents like EN 1.4571 similar.
4. Trends: Q4 2025 stable; overcapacity keeps China 20% below global.

Gangsteel's fixed contracts hedge volatility.

Properties and Applications: Value at the Price

316Ti's composition (C 0.08 max, Ti 0.7 max) prevents IGC at high temps, with mechanicals like 515 MPa tensile justifying its price for durability.

Apps: Chemical reactors (heat resistance), marine piping (pitting defense).

At $3.90-7.20/kg, it's 20% pricier than 304 but lasts 2x longer in corrosives.

Gangsteel's SA240 Type 316Ti stock offers bulk discounts.
