This article delves into the essence of 316Ti stainless steel, its chemical composition, mechanical properties, available specifications, and why Gangsteel is your trusted source for ASME SA240 316Ti and other standards. Let’s explore why 316Ti is the material of choice for your next project.

 

1. What is 316Ti Stainless Steel?

316Ti stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel alloy, enhanced with titanium to provide superior resistance to intergranular corrosion and high-temperature stability. A variant of 316 stainless steel, 316Ti’s titanium addition stabilizes the material against sensitization during welding or prolonged exposure to temperatures between 500°C and 900°C. This makes 316Ti stainless steel stock ideal for applications in harsh environments, such as chemical processing, marine, and power generation industries.

Key Features of 316Ti Stainless Steel

  • Corrosion Resistance: Excels in chloride-rich environments, resisting pitting and crevice corrosion.
  • High-Temperature Performance: Maintains strength and stability at elevated temperatures.
  • Weldability: Titanium stabilization ensures robust welds without compromising corrosion resistance.
  • Versatility: Available in multiple forms, including ASTM A240 316Ti sheets and ASME SA312 pipes.

Gangsteel’s 316Ti stainless steel stock adheres to international standards like ASTM A959 and ISO TR15510, ensuring top-tier quality for your projects.
