316Ti Stainless Steel Price Per Ton | Gangsteel

 

The price of 316Ti stainless steel per ton is a critical factor for industries requiring this premium, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature-stable material. As a titanium-stabilized variant of 316 stainless steel, 316Ti is widely used in chemical processing, marine, and power generation industries.

Gangsteel, a leading supplier, offers high-quality 316Ti stainless steel in forms such as sheets, plates, bars, and pipes, compliant with standards like ASME SA240 and ASTM A240 316Ti. This guide provides insights into the factors influencing 316Ti stainless steel prices per ton, typical price ranges, and why Gangsteel is your trusted source.

 

1. Factors Influencing 316Ti Stainless Steel Price Per Ton

The price of 316Ti stainless steel per ton varies based on several dynamic factors:

  • Raw Material Costs: The price of key components like nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and titanium significantly impacts 316Ti pricing. Titanium, added for stabilization, increases costs compared to 316 or 316L. Fluctuations in global commodity markets, particularly for nickel and titanium, drive price changes.
  • Market Demand and Supply: High demand in industries like chemical processing, marine, and power generation can increase prices, while oversupply may lower them. Global economic conditions and regional demand (e.g., China’s steel market) also play a role.
  • Product Form and Specifications: Prices vary by form (e.g., sheets, plates, pipes, tubes, bars) and specifications (e.g., thickness, width, length, surface finish). For example, seamless ASTM A312 material pipes or ASME SA213 tubes may cost more than plates due to manufacturing complexity.
  • Processing and Customization: Value-added services like precision cutting for stainless 316Ti cutting sheets, specific surface finishes (e.g., 2B, BA), or custom sizes increase costs.
  • Global Logistics and Freight: Shipping costs, especially with disruptions like Red Sea issues or Suez Canal delays, can elevate prices, particularly in Europe.
  • Regional Variations: Prices differ by region due to local production costs, import duties, and market dynamics. For instance, prices in India may be lower than in the UK due to production proximity and lower labor costs.

 

2. Typical Price Range for 316Ti Stainless Steel Per Ton (2025)

Based on recent market data, the price of 316Ti stainless steel per ton in 2025 varies depending on product form, region, and supplier. Below are approximate price ranges converted from per kg prices (FOB China, unless specified):

  • Plates/Sheets: $3,900–$7,200 per ton (based on $3.90–$7.20 per kg). Prices are higher for thinner sheets or specialized finishes like BA or No.4.
  • Pipes (Seamless/Welded): $4,000–$10,000 per ton, with seamless ASTM A312 material pipes at the higher end due to manufacturing complexity.
  • Tubes: $4,000–$8,000 per ton for ASME SA213 tubes, depending on diameter and wall thickness.
  • Bars (Round, Square, Hex): $4,000–$7,500 per ton, varying by diameter and length.
  • Regional Example (India): Approximately $3,500–$3,700 per ton for plates and sheets, reflecting lower production costs.
  • Regional Example (UK): Approximately $5,700–$5,900 per ton for plates and sheets, due to higher import and logistics costs.

Note: These prices are indicative and subject to change based on market conditions, order volume, and specific requirements. For precise pricing, contact Gangsteel at admin@gangsteel.com for a tailored quote.

 

3. Why 316Ti Stainless Steel Commands a Premium Price

316Ti stainless steel is typically 15–30% more expensive than 316L due to its titanium content and enhanced properties. Key reasons include:

  • Titanium Stabilization: The addition of titanium (≥5xC, ≤0.70%) prevents intergranular corrosion during welding or high-temperature exposure (425–815°C), making 316Ti ideal for applications like heat exchangers and chemical reactors.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Molybdenum (2.0–3.0%) enhances pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chloride-rich and acidic environments, critical for marine and chemical industries.
  • High-Temperature Performance: Maintains structural integrity up to 900°C, outperforming 316L in high-temperature applications.
  • Weldability: Titanium ensures corrosion-resistant welds without sensitization, reducing post-weld treatment costs.
