Tubing Applications

SEAMLESS
molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. The 316 alloys
are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice SEAM WELDED, COLD REDRAWN AND ANNEALED
corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic
stainless steels such as 304. They also offer higher creep, Typical manufacturing specifications
stress-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature.

1500°F (425 to 815°C) which can result in intergranular
corrosion. Typical Applications

Resistance to sensitisation is achieved in Alloy 316Ti with CHEMICAL PROCESSES

titanium additions to stabilise the structure against chromium HIGH TEMPERATURE
carbide precipitation, which is the source of sensitisation. This AUTOMOTIVE
stabilisation is achieved by an intermediate temperature heat CONTROL LINES
treatment, during which the titanium reacts with carbon to
form titanium carbides. This significantly reduces susceptibility
Industries predominantly using this grade
to sensitisation in service by limiting the formation of chromium
carbides. Thus, the alloy can be used for extended periods at CHEMICAL PROCESSES
elevated temperatures without compromising its corrosion OIL AND GAS
resistance. 316Ti has equivalent corrosion resistance to AUTOMOTIVE
sensitisation as the low carbon version 316L.
