Material Data Sheet and Technical Overview
The stainless steel grade 1.4571, also known as X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2, AISI 316Ti or SS 316 Ti, is an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel stabilized with titanium. The titanium addition improves resistance to intergranular corrosion by preventing the formation of chromium carbides during long-term exposure to temperatures between 450 and 850 °C. This makes 316Ti stainless steel especially valuable for welded constructions and thermally stressed components.

Material Profile: Stainless Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Steel
1.4571 / 316Ti is a stainless austenitic chromium-nickel steel with enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against pitting and in aggressive media. It shares core characteristics with standard 316, but thanks to its titanium stabilization, offers:
● Improved resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding
● High resistance to a broad range of organic and inorganic acids, even at elevated concentrations and temperatures
● Reliability in thermal cycling environments, where long-term exposure to medium temperatures is expected
● Similar pitting resistance as 316 (PREN 23.1–26.7), but not suitable for seawater exposure

- Mechanical engineering
- Building industry
- Nuclear technology
The 1.4571 material, or AISI 316Ti, is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel developed for demanding applications involving corrosive media, thermal cycling, and welded constructions. It offers reliable performance in a wide temperature range and shows enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion compared to non-stabilized steels like 316L.
Thanks to its combination of mechanical and chemical properties, ss 316 Ti is a preferred material in various industrial sectors that require robust and durable stainless steel solutions.
