Chemical Plant in India Replaces Failed 304 with 316Ti Plate

Project: Storage tank lining for acidic chemicals

Location: Gujarat, India

Product: ASTM 316Ti Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate, 10mm thickness

A chemical plant experienced unexpected corrosion on 304 stainless steel tanks storing dilute sulfuric acid. They needed a more resistant material without moving to costly nickel alloys. Our team recommended ASTM 316Ti hot rolled stainless steel sheet for its 2-3% molybdenum and titanium content, which improves acid resistance and weldability.

We supplied 10mm thick stainless steel plates with sheared edges and anti-fingerprint coating. Delivery took 4 days using express freight. We provided mill test certificates for every batch.

Result: The new tank linings showed no corrosion after 8 months. The plant extended the solution to three other tanks. They became a long-term partner.
