1.4571 Stainless Bar 316Ti

1.4571 is a weldable austenitic stainless steel comparable to 316L which is the low carbon equivalent of 316. Titanium is added to the chemical composition of 1.4571 to act as a stabilizer that increases the resistance to intergranular corrosion of the material when the material is exposed to prolonged periods of elevated temperatures.

Care must be taken when welding 1.4571 to avoid heating the material adjacent to the weld area above 2100°F as when the material starts to cool down to below 1500°F, intergranular corrosion will develop.

The alloy has an FCC crystalline structure at all temperatures so therefore cannot be hardened by heat treatment. In the annealed condition, the material is non-magnetic. Main uses for 1.4571 are in the oil and gas industry where exposure to elevated temperatures in aqueous corrosion conditions can occur.

Used extensively across all industries including marine, medical, architectural, pharmaceutical, chemical, food, oil & gas, brewing, textile among others.
