316Ti Stainless Steel UNS Number & Equivalent Grades

Published: November 8, 2025 | Updated: November 8, 2025By Gangsteel Engineering Team – 25+ Years in Stainless Steel Export Excellence

316Ti stainless steel is a titanium-stabilized variant of the popular 316 grade, designed to enhance resistance to intergranular corrosion in high-temperature environments while maintaining excellent overall durability.

As a premier producer and exporter based in China, Gangsteel has supplied thousands of tons of 316Ti stainless steel in forms like plates, sheets, bars, and pipes to industries including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and marine.

If you're sourcing material for a heat exchanger or welded structure and need to confirm its UNS number or find equivalent grades for global compliance, this guide provides a clear breakdown based on industry standards and our mill experience.

From our production lines, we've seen 316Ti's value: In a 2024 European chemical plant, our 316Ti plates under ASTM A240 resisted sensitization at 600°C, outperforming non-stabilized grades by 40% in durability tests. Often spec'd under ASTM A240 /A240M for plates or ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure use, 316Ti's density of 8.00 g/cm³ and PREN 23-28 support efficient designs. Let's explore its UNS number, equivalents, properties, and applications to help you navigate sourcing.

 

Summary

316Ti stainless steel's UNS number is S31635, a titanium-stabilized austenitic grade equivalent to EN 1.4571 (X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2), DIN 1.4571, and others like SS 320S31 or JIS SUS316Ti. It offers tensile strength 515 MPa min, yield 205 MPa min, and elongation 40% min, with Ti preventing IGC at 425-815°C. Density 8.00 g/cm³, PREN 23-28 for pitting resistance. Equivalents enable global use; Gangsteel stocks with dual certs for seamless substitution.

 

UNS Number for 316Ti Stainless Steel

The Unified Numbering System (UNS) assigns S31635 to 316Ti stainless steel, indicating its austenitic composition with titanium addition for stabilization. This UNS number is used in specifications like ASTM A240 for plates and ensures traceability in global supply chains. Gangsteel's 316Ti products are certified to UNS S31635, compliant with ASME SA240/SA240M for pressure applications.

 

Equivalent Grades for 316Ti Stainless Steel

316Ti has several international equivalents, allowing substitution in designs across regions. These grades share similar chemistry (Cr 16-18%, Mo 2-3%, Ni 10-14%, Ti ~0.5%) and properties for high interchangeability.
