Published: November 12, 2025 | Updated: November 12, 2025By Gangsteel Engineering Team – 25+ Years in Stainless Steel Export Excellence

In the rigorous domain of stainless steels compliant with ASME SA-240/SA-240M – Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) and ASTM A240/A240M – 316Ti, SA240 316Ti specifications define a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade engineered for superior performance in pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and welded structures requiring high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of SA240 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASME SA-240/SA-240M specs for plates and sheets, to industries like petrochemical, power generation, and marine.

If you're referencing SA240 316Ti specifications under ASME SA-240/SA-240M for boiler components or chemical processing where IGC resistance at 425-815°C and pressure integrity are critical, Gangsteel delivers mill-direct stock with full traceability. This article covers SA240 316Ti specifications, properties, and stock availability, based on ASME SA-240/SA-240M – Type 316Ti and ASTM A240/A240M – 316Ti standards.

From our production lines, SA240 316Ti specifications shine: In a 2024 U.S. refinery upgrade, our SA240 316Ti plates under ASME SA-240/SA-240M passed A262 Practice E with zero IGC after 1,000 hours at 650°C, enabling ASME VIII compliance without PWHT — saving 25% in fabrication time. With ASME SA240/SA240M approval for pressure apps, SA240 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports lightweight yet robust designs. Let's explore SA240 316Ti specifications — from composition to stock — for your next project.
