316L, 316Ti... are mainly used in highly corrosive scenarios such as seawater desalination, heat exchangers, food and pharmaceutical equipment, and flue gas desulfurization.
316L and 316Ti are both 'upgraded' versions of 316 stainless steel, but they are upgraded in different directions. Simply put: 316L focuses on corrosion resistance during welding, while 316Ti focuses on high-temperature load-bearing capacity.
⚙️ Core Attribute Comparison
· Intergranular Corrosion Resistance: 316L addresses post-welding corrosion issues with ultra-low carbon content (≤0.03%); 316Ti stabilizes carbon elements by adding titanium. Both perform well, but 316L is more reliable in strongly corrosive media.
· High-Temperature Performance: Due to its low carbon content, 316L has weaker high-temperature strength and is recommended for use below 425°C. 316Ti, thanks to titanium's
