Product Introduction

316Ti is a metal material, also known as Mo2Ti, which is created by adding titanium to SUS316 steel to improve resistance to intergranular corrosion. The titanium content is typically around 0.2% to 0.7%. Titanium atoms stabilize the structure of 316-grade materials at temperatures above 800°C, preventing carbide precipitation at grain boundaries and protecting the metal strip from corrosion.

316Ti stainless steel strip is widely used in the chemical industry where high acidic conditions prevail, and it is particularly effective in equipment that needs to resist sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and acetic acid.

Processing

Processing and application of 316Ti stainless steel must adhere to relevant standards and best practices to fully utilize the material's properties.

Cutting: Use sharp tools to reduce cutting force. It is recommended to use tools with positive rake angles and large clearance angles. Coolant should be used during processing to reduce tool wear and work hardening.

Heat Treatment: 316Ti stainless steel can be enhanced through heat treatment, such as solution annealing and rapid cooling. The solution annealing temperature typically ranges between 1050°C and 1150°C, with water or air cooling methods.

Welding: Appropriate filler rods or welding rods should be selected to ensure the performance of the welded joint. Post-welding heat treatment may be required to relieve stress.

Forming: Due to the mechanical properties of 316Ti, forming operations should be conducted in the solution annealing state to ensure the material's plasticity and toughness.

Pickling: After hot rolling or welding, pickling may be required to remove surface oxide scale and dirt, ensuring surface finish and quality.
