In the specialized domain of stainless steels compliant with ASTM A240/A240M and ASME SA240/SA240M standards, 316Ti emerges as a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade whose rod and bar dimensions under ASTM SA479 are optimized for high-temperature and corrosive service in industries requiring precision and durability.

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 alongside SA479 for rods and bars, to sectors like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're sourcing rod or bar stock under SA479 where dimensions like diameter, length, and tolerance are critical, understanding 316Ti's specifications is essential. This article explores its SA479 rod and bar dimensions, properties, and practical insights, based on ASTM SA479, A240/A240M, and ASME SA240/SA240M standards and our mill data.

From our production lines, we've seen 316Ti rod and bar dimensions in action: In a 2024 U.S. valve manufacturing project, our SA479 316Ti bars under ASTM A240 /A240M (complementary specs) provided tight tolerances for M20-M100 sizes, enabling high-strength fastening without distortion, as per client feedback. Compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for related apps, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ supports efficient dimensions. Let's delve into the specifications, from composition to stock options, to guide your sourcing.

 

Summary

316Ti stainless steel under ASTM SA479 offers rod and bar dimensions from 4-500mm diameter, lengths up to 6m, and tolerances like ±0.2mm for cold-finished, with tensile 515 MPa min and yield 205 MPa min. Titanium stabilization ensures IGC resistance, ideal for high-temp apps. Density 8.00 g/cm³, PREN 23-28. Equivalent to EN 1.4571; Gangsteel stocks with certs for custom sizes.
