Applications and Industries Using SUS316Ti

SUS316Ti is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability:

1. Chemical processing equipment
2. Pulp and paper industry
3. Marine applications
4. Food processing equipment
5. Pharmaceutical manufacturing
6. Heat exchangers
7. Applications requiring long-term exposure to high temperatures

Manufacturing Process of SUS316Ti Stainless Steel

The manufacturing process of SUS316Ti typically involves:

1. Melting raw materials in an electric arc furnace
2. Refining the molten metal using AOD or VOD processes
3. Continuous casting into slabs
4. Hot rolling to reduce thickness
5. Cold rolling to achieve final dimensions
6. Solution annealing at 1050-1150°C, followed by rapid cooling

Comparison of SUS316Ti with Other Stainless Steel Grades

SUS316Ti offers improved resistance to sensitization and intergranular corrosion at high temperatures compared to SUS316 and SUS316L.

Corrosion Resistance and Heat Treatment of SUS316Ti

SUS316Ti exhibits excellent corrosion resistance:

• Highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion
• Suitable for use in marine environments
• Resistant to many chemicals and acids

Heat treatment:

• Solution annealing: 1050-1150°C, followed by rapid cooling
• Provides resistance to sensitization and intergranular corrosion during long-term exposure to temperatures between 425-815°C
