1.4571 / DIN X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 – AISI 316Ti

 
AISI 316/316L/316Ti

AISI 316 is the most known stainless steel after AISI 304, the biggest difference being that it contains molybdenum. Molybdenum provides better durability to AISI 316 in corrosive environments than AISI 304. It is especially successful against cracks and pits on the surface and internal structure. It has high shaping and welding ability. It is used for various purposes in sectors such as industrial, architectural, and transportation. It does not require post-weld annealing in thin sections.

AISI 316L is the low carbon of AISI 316. Therefore, 316L does not require post-weld annealing in thicker sections.

AISI 316Ti contains a small amount of titanium. Its rate is around 0.5%. The biggest advantage of this quality over the other two grades is that it has a longer durability at high temperatures.
 

CORROSION RESISTANCE: Under normal conditions, corrosion resistance is much better than AISI 304. In hot environments with acid content, it is likely that capillary cracks and pits will occur in the internal structure of the material, and when the temperature rises above 60 ° C, cracks due to stress may occur.
Resistant to 1000 mg / L chlorine at standard temperature tap water, 500 mg / L above 60 ° C.

HEAT RESISTANCE: AISI 316 has good oxidation resistance in environments with an intermittent temperature of 870 ° C and a constant temperature of 925 ° C. However, if the environment is watery and there is a temperature of 425-860 ° C, the corrosion resistance decreases. Since AISI 316L has low carbon, no carbide precipitation occurs in these environments.

HEAT TREATMENT: After the annealing process is heated between 1010 - 1120 ° C, it is cooled rapidly. It cannot be hardened by heat treatment.

WELDING: It shows excellent capability in all welding methods. For example; electrode, gas or wire etc. The most suitable electrode or wire quality to AISI 316 is AISI 316, and AISI 316L is AISI 316L. When welding thin sections of AISI 316 quality, it does not require post-welding annealing. However, it must be applied in thick sections. On the other hand, AISI 316L does not require post-weld annealing in thick sections. AISI 316Ti should be preferred instead of AISI 316 in thick section welds.
