Stainless steel 316TI | AISI 316 TI | 1.4571
Stainless Steel 316TI quality has almost the same properties as Stainless Steel 316. The only difference is that this quality has an additional addition of titanium. The addition of titanium aims to reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion at temperatures between 425 and 815 degrees Celsius.
What is
Intergranular corrosion?
When austenitic Stainless Steel products are exposed to prolonged heating between 425 and 815 degrees Celsius, the carbon mixed in the stainless steel reduces the intergranular corrosion. Stainless Steel in this condition is referred to as "sensitive". The grain boundaries become susceptible to attacks upon later exposure to a corrosive environment. This type of corrosion is called intergranular corrosion.
The presence of titanium in the 1.4571 alloy improves the mechanical strength. However, a disadvantage is that the machinability of 1.4571 can also be a problem because the titanium carbo-nitride particles can lead to increased tool wear.
