316Ti Stainless Steel Sheet Product Information
In the dynamic world of industrial materials, the 316Ti stainless steel sheet emerges as a game - changer, offering a blend of resilience, versatility, and efficiency that addresses the most pressing challenges across diverse sectors.
A Cut Above: The Alloy Formula
At the heart of 316Ti's prowess lies its meticulously crafted alloy composition. Carbon is tightly regulated below 0.08%, a strategic move that thwarts carbide formation and subsequent intergranular corrosion. The chromium - nickel matrix, with chromium at 16.00 - 18.00% and nickel at 10.00 - 14.00%, acts as a formidable shield against oxidation. Molybdenum, present in the range of 2.00 - 3.00%, supercharges resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride - rich settings. But it's the addition of titanium that truly sets 316Ti apart. By sequestering carbon atoms, titanium ensures the material's integrity remains intact even when subjected to thermal cycling and stress - prone environments.
Engineering Marvel: Physical and Mechanical Traits
- Physical Attributes: With a density of 7.98 g/cm³, 316Ti strikes the perfect balance between heft and strength. Its broad melting range of 1375 - 1450 °C makes it adaptable to high - temperature applications, while a thermal conductivity of 16 W/m·K at 100 °C enables efficient heat management. The coefficient of thermal expansion, measured at 16.0×10⁻⁶/K (20 - 100 °C), guarantees dimensional stability through temperature swings.
- Mechanical Mastery: Boasting a tensile strength of ≥515 MPa and a yield strength (0.2% offset) of ≥205 MPa, 316Ti stands firm under heavy loads. Its 40% elongation at break and ≤200 HB hardness endow it with remarkable ductility, allowing for complex shaping without compromising structural integrity.
Features that Redefine Standards
Corrosion Resistance: A Shield Against the Elements
In the unforgiving marine environment, where salt spray and humidity conspire against materials, 316Ti stainless steel sheets have proven their mettle. Take, for instance, the construction of a major offshore wind farm. Our 316Ti sheets were used for the support structures, withstanding the corrosive sea air for over a decade without significant degradation. In chemical plants, handling aggressive acids and alkalis, 316Ti's superior resistance ensures that reactors and pipelines maintain peak performance, slashing maintenance costs and downtime.
High - Temperature Resilience: Performing Under Pressure
In power generation plants, 316Ti stainless steel sheets are the unsung heroes in boiler components and heat exchangers. They endure continuous exposure to temperatures up to 800 °C, resisting oxidation and creep deformation. This reliability translates to extended equipment lifespans and reduced replacement cycles, boosting overall plant efficiency.
Fabrication - Friendly: From Concept to Reality
Our 316Ti sheets are designed with fabricators in mind. Cold - forming processes like stamping and bending are seamless, enabling the creation of intricate designs for architectural projects. Welding is a breeze too; our sheets maintain their corrosion - resistant properties at the joints, ensuring the final product is as robust as intended.
Precision - Engineered Manufacturing
Our production process is a testament to technological innovation. Starting with electric arc furnace melting, we ensure precise alloy composition. The material then undergoes hot rolling for initial shaping, followed by cold rolling for a refined finish and tight tolerances. Advanced heat - treatment techniques optimize its mechanical properties. Rigorous quality control checks at every stage, including non - destructive testing and chemical analysis, guarantee that each sheet meets the highest standards.
