Unrivaled Performance, Limitless Possibilities
316Ti stainless steel sheet stands out as a premium choice in the realm of metallic materials. Compared with common stainless steel grades, its unique alloy composition, with the strategic addition of titanium, endows it with remarkable features that redefine industry standards.
Distinctive Alloy Composition
The chemical makeup of 316Ti stainless steel sheet is the cornerstone of its superior performance. With a precisely controlled carbon content capped at ≤0.08%, it minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation, which can lead to corrosion. A substantial chromium (16.00 - 18.00%) and nickel (10.00 - 14.00%) content forms a robust passive oxide layer, safeguarding the material from oxidation and general corrosion. The inclusion of 2.00 - 3.00% molybdenum further fortifies its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride - laden environments. What truly sets 316Ti apart is the addition of titanium, which ties up carbon atoms, preventing intergranular corrosion even under harsh thermal cycling conditions.
Superior Physical and Mechanical Attributes
- Physical Properties: Boasting a density of 7.98 g/cm³, 316Ti stainless steel sheet strikes an optimal balance between strength and weight. Its broad melting point range of 1375 - 1450 °C ensures stability across diverse thermal applications. With a thermal conductivity of 16 W/m·K at 100 °C, it efficiently manages heat transfer, while a coefficient of thermal expansion of 16.0×10⁻⁶/K (20 - 100 °C) allows for dimensional stability during temperature fluctuations.
- Mechanical Properties: The material exhibits a tensile strength of ≥515 MPa and a yield strength (0.2% offset) of ≥205 MPa, ensuring structural integrity under heavy loads. An elongation at break of ≥40% and a hardness (HB) of ≤200 make it highly ductile and formable, enabling complex shaping without cracking.
Outstanding Features
Unmatched Corrosion Resistance
In highly corrosive marine settings, where saltwater spray and humidity are constant threats, 316Ti stainless steel sheet outperforms standard grades. Its enhanced resistance to chloride - induced pitting means it can be used for seawater handling systems, ship hull components, and offshore rig structures without succumbing to premature corrosion. In chemical processing plants dealing with acids and alkalis, the material's ability to withstand aggressive chemical attacks ensures long - term durability of reactors, pipelines, and storage vessels.
Exceptional High - Temperature Stability
From the high - heat zones of power plant boilers to the exhaust systems of high - performance engines, 316Ti stainless steel sheet maintains its mechanical properties up to 800 °C. It resists oxidation and creep deformation, ensuring reliable operation in continuous high - temperature applications and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Seamless Fabrication and Welding
Our 316Ti stainless steel sheets are engineered for ease of fabrication. Cold - forming processes such as stamping and bending can be carried out with precision, allowing for the creation of intricate shapes. When it comes to welding, its excellent weldability ensures that joints are not only strong but also retain the material's corrosion - resistant properties. Our in - house team of experts can provide detailed welding guidelines to ensure optimal results.
Production Excellence
Our 316Ti stainless steel sheets are manufactured using state - of - the - art facilities and processes. The melting stage involves a carefully controlled electric arc furnace process to ensure accurate alloy composition. After casting, the material undergoes hot rolling to achieve the desired thickness and shape, followed by cold rolling for improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Advanced heat - treatment processes are then applied to optimize the material's mechanical properties. Rigorous quality checks are conducted at every stage, from raw material inspection to the final product, ensuring that only the highest quality sheets reach our customers.
