Key Attributes
-
Corrosion Resistance
- 316Ti: Enhanced with 2–3% molybdenum and titanium (0.5%), it resists pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments (e.g., marine, chemical plants).
- 321: Stabilized with titanium, it prevents carbide precipitation during welding, ideal for high-temperature applications.
-
Mechanical Strength
- Both grades exhibit high tensile and yield strength, ensuring structural integrity under extreme pressure and load.
-
Versatility
- Suitable for stainless steel exhaust pipe tips, heat exchangers, condensers, and sanitary systems due to smooth internal surfaces and weldability.
Manufacturing Process
Stage | Description |
---|---|
Material Selection | High-purity chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and titanium/molybdenum alloys |
Hot/Cold Drawing | Seamless tubes formed via cold drawing for precision dimensions. |
Heat Treatment | Solution annealing at 1050–1100°C to optimize corrosion resistance. |
Surface Treatment | Pickling, polishing, or brushing to meet industry-specific hygiene standards |
Quality Inspection | Hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic inspection, and chemical analysis compliance. |
Detailed Performance Analysis
1. Tensile & Bend Strength
- Tensile Strength: Both grades exceed 520 MPa, ensuring durability under high-stress conditions. The addition of titanium in 316Ti enhances creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
- Bend Strength: Seamless construction allows for tight-radius bending without cracking, critical for complex piping layouts in chemical tanks.
2. Weight Calculation
Use the formula:
Example: For a 50 mm OD pipe with 5 mm wall thickness:
3. Identification Marking
- Laser Etching: ASTM/EN standards, material grade (e.g., "316Ti"), heat number, and size.
- Color Coding: Optional PVC sleeves for quick identification in industrial settings.
4. Causes of Stainless Steel Rust
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts can cause pitting.
- Poor Maintenance: Residual contaminants (e.g., iron particles) accelerate oxidation. Regular cleaning with pH-neutral detergents is recommended.
- Thermal Stress: Repeated heating/cooling cycles in suboptimal environments may degrade passive oxide layers.
