In the competitive market of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose plate price reflects its premium properties for high-temperature and corrosive applications.
As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti stainless steel, meeting ASTM A240/A240M specs for plates and sheets, to industries like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.
If you're budgeting for SA240 Type 316Ti plates under ASME SA240/SA240M where cost, availability, and performance are key, understanding 2025 pricing trends is essential. This article explores SA240 Type 316Ti plate prices, factors influencing costs, and practical insights, based on ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.
From our production lines, we've tracked 316Ti pricing: In a 2024 European chemical upgrade, our SA240 Type 316Ti plates under ASTM A240 /A240M provided value at competitive rates, saving clients 15% on high-temp durable stock, as per procurement reports. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports cost-efficient designs. Let's delve into the pricing, from composition to market trends, to guide your purchase.
SA240 Type 316Ti plate prices in 2025 range from $3,200-3,800 per ton FOB China for 1-50mm thick stock, rising to $3,800-4,500 for 51-200mm due to processing. Factors like Ti/Mo alloys and demand from high-temp apps drive costs, up 5-10% from 2024. Density 8.00 g/cm³, tensile 515 MPa min. Equivalent to EN 1.4571; cheaper than 904L but premium over 304. Gangsteel offers mill-direct pricing with certs for custom sizes.
The chemical composition of 316Ti, as specified in ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M, includes premium alloys like titanium and molybdenum, contributing to its price.
