In the global stainless steel market compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, SA240 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose equivalent materials enable flexible sourcing for high-temperature and corrosive applications.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of SA240 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASTM A240/A240M specs for plates and sheets, to industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're sourcing equivalents for SA240 316Ti under ASME SA240/SA240M where material matching is key, understanding its alternatives like EN 1.4571 or JIS SUS316Ti is essential. This article explores SA240 316Ti's equivalents, property comparisons, and practical insights, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.

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

Summary

SA240 316Ti stainless steel (UNS S31635) is equivalent to materials like EN/DIN 1.4571 (X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2), JIS SUS316Ti, BS 320S31, AFNOR Z6CNDT17-12, SS 2350, and GOST 08Ch17N13M2T, 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 ASTM A240/A240M and EN 10088. Ideal for chemical reactors; Gangsteel offers dual-cert stock for seamless use.
