316 Ti Stainless Steel

316 Ti Stainless steel is a stabilized grade of 316 stainless steel. It consists of around .07% of Titanium, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The presence of titanium also results in higher corrosion resistance, even in environments with high concentrations of chlorides. It is also non-magnetic and shows good weldability and formability.

Chemical Composition:

Apart from titanium, grade 316 Ti also has a good amount of nickel and chromium. Let us look at its detailed chemical composition:

  • Carbon: 0.08 max%
  • Manganese: 2.00 max%
  • Silicon: 1.00 max%
  • Chromium: 16.00-18.00%
  • Nickel: 10.00-14.00%
  • Molybdenum: 2.00-3.00%
  • Titanium: 5 x (Carbon + Nitrogen) – 0.07%
  • Phosphorus: 0.040% max
  • Sulfur: 0.030% max
  • Copper: 0.075% max
  • Iron: Balance
