Applications and Industries Using 316Ti Stainless Steel

316Ti stainless steel is widely used in:

1. Chemical processing equipment
2. Oil and gas industry
3. Marine applications
4. Food and pharmaceutical industries
5. Heat exchangers and furnace parts
6. Pulp and paper industry
7. Petrochemical equipment

Corrosion Resistance and High-Temperature Performance

316Ti offers excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments. The addition of titanium enhances:

• Resistance to intergranular corrosion at elevated temperatures (425-815°C)
• Improved pitting resistance compared to 316L
• Better performance in sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic, and tartaric acids

Manufacturing Process and Available Forms

316Ti is typically produced through controlled rolling processes. Available forms include:

• Plates
• Coils
• Sheets
• Strips

Welding and Fabrication Considerations

316Ti has good weldability due to its titanium stabilization. Key points:

• Can be welded using standard fusion and resistance welding methods
• No preheating required
• Post-weld heat treatment generally not necessary
