316Ti stainless steel wire mesh

316Ti (UNS S31635 | EN 1.4571 | AISI 316Ti) stainless steel mesh is a titanium-stabilized, low-carbon stainless steel derived from 316. While standard 316 relies on low carbon (316L) to prevent sensitization, 316Ti uses Titanium to preferentially form titanium carbides, protecting the chromium and preventing intergranular corrosion. it also retains the Molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance of 316 while gaining the high-temperature stability of stabilized grades like 321.

Non-magnetic in annealed condition; slightly magnetic after cold working.

Typical Chemical Composition:

(Note: The Titanium content is typically at least 5 times the Carbon content, and often up to 0.7% maximum.)

Typical Applications

316Ti is specified for applications that face both chloride exposure and elevated temperatures, or where welded components will operate in the sensitization range.

· Chemical Processing: Heat exchangers, condenser tubes, and filter elements handling chlorides at elevated temperatures.

· Oil & Gas: Downhole screens and filtration equipment exposed to warm, chloride-rich brines.

· Pulp & Paper: Digester equipment and filters in bleach plants where warm chlorides are present.

· Pollution Control: Hot gas filtration systems where chlorides are present in the gas stream.

· Pharmaceuticals: Welded filter housings and baskets that undergo both sterilization (heat) and exposure to saline cleaning agents.

· Marine Exhaust Systems: Components exposed to both hot exhaust gases and salt spray

Why Choose 316Ti Over 316L or 321?

· Choose 316Ti over 316L if your service temperature will consistently be in the sensitization range (800-1500°F / 427-816°C) . 316L is great for welding at room temperature, but if the part operates hot, 316L will eventually form carbides and lose corrosion resistance. 316Ti will not.

· Choose 316Ti over 321 if your environment contains chlorides. 321 lacks Molybdenum, so it will pit in seawater or brine. 316Ti gives you the best of both worlds: the chloride resistance of 316 and the high-temperature stability of a stabilized grade.
