Brazilian Food Processing Plant Uses 316Ti for Hygiene & Corrosion Resistance

Project: Industrial kitchen work surfaces and equipment frames
Location: São Paulo, Brazil
Product: ASTM 316Ti Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Coil, 10mm thickness, cut-to-length

A food processing plant manufacturing acidic sauces required stainless steel surfaces resistant to both organic acids and frequent caustic cleaning agents. 304 grade showed surface pitting after 6 months. Our team recommended ASTM 316Ti hot rolled stainless steel sheet for its molybdenum-enhanced pitting resistance and titanium-stabilized weld zones.

We supplied 10mm thick stainless steel plates with 2B finish for easy sanitation. The material was cut to custom lengths from coil, reducing waste by 15% compared to standard sheet sizes. Delivery took 7 days, including anti-rust oil application and edge banding.

Result: After 10 months of daily production and aggressive cleaning, the 316Ti surfaces showed no pitting, staining, or weld decay. The plant passed a surprise health inspection with perfect scores. The client placed a repeat order for 35 tons to retrofit their entire facility.
