316Ti Stainless Steel Sheet –Applications
Leave a message
316Ti stainless steel (UNS S31635 / EN 1.4571) is a titanium-stabilized version of 316 stainless steel, designed for enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion, especially after welding or long-term exposure to elevated temperatures.
What is 316Ti stainless steel used for?
Food and beverage processing equipment (e.g., mixing tanks, conveyors)
Pharmaceutical and biotech systems (e.g., reactors, cleanroom surfaces)
Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
High-temperature exhaust systems
Chemical processing equipment
Marine and coastal structures
Welded components subject to intergranular corrosion
What is the difference between 316Ti and 316L?
The key difference is that 316Ti contains titanium, which stabilizes the steel against sensitization during welding or high-temperature service. This gives it superior resistance to intergranular corrosion. In contrast, 316L has lower carbon content and is more cost-effective but less stable under long-term high heat.
Can 316Ti stainless steel be welded?
Yes. 316Ti is highly weldable, and unlike standard 316, it does not require post-weld heat treatment to prevent intergranular corrosion. It is suitable for TIG, MIG, and arc welding in hygienic and structural applications.
Is 316Ti stainless steel heat resistant?
Yes. 316Ti offers excellent high-temperature strength and can operate continuously at temperatures up to 600–650°C (1112–1202°F). This makes it ideal for pasteurization systems, sterilization chambers, and exhaust equipment in demanding environments.
