316Ti Stainless Steel Coil is a titanium-stabilized version of 316 stainless steel, specifically engineered to prevent chromium carbide precipitation at elevated temperatures. By adding titanium (typically 5× carbon content minimum), this grade maintains its corrosion resistance in the sensitization temperature range (425-850°C) where standard 316 may degrade. This makes 316Ti the optimal choice for applications involving continuous high-temperature exposure, welding of heavy sections, or any scenario where intergranular corrosion must be prevented without compromising the molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance.

Supplied in continuous coil form for manufacturing efficiency, 316Ti combines the excellent chloride and acid resistance of 316 stainless steel with superior high-temperature stability. Unlike low-carbon grades (316L) that rely on reduced carbon content, 316Ti uses titanium to "tie up" carbon atoms, forming stable titanium carbides instead of chromium carbides. This stabilization approach allows for slightly higher strength than 316L while providing guaranteed protection against sensitization, making it particularly valuable for heat exchangers, furnace parts, and other high-temperature equipment.
